  • Civil War Trail
    Crescent Bend During the Civil War, Crescent Bend was used by both Union and Confederate Armies as a command center and hospital. Thousands of soldiers encamped and fought skirmishes on its farmland. It is also noteworthy for this era for possibly being a safe house on the Underground Railroad. A hidden trapdoor beneath the main staircase led to a room where runaway slaves were sheltered. Drury Armstrong's Crescent Bend started with 600 acres of land on the north side of the Holston River (now called the Tennessee River). Within a few years he acquired another 300 acres on the south side. He owned several other tracts of land in and around Knoxville, upon one of which a famous Civil War battle, the Battle of Armstrong's Hill, would be fought. In addition to these land holdings, he also owned 50,000 acres of wooded and pastoral mountain land in Sevier and Blount Counties, Tennessee. He gave the name “Glen Alpine” to his land between the West Prong of the Little Pigeon River and the East Prong of the Little Tennessee River. This land today makes up about 10% of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. During the Civil War, the house was used by both Union and Confederate Armies as a command center and hospital. Thousands of soldiers encamped and fought skirmishes on Crescent Bend farmland. Originally the Union Army controlled Crescent Bend and built an earthen fortification around the house; began on the western side of the house, wrapped around the back of the house, and connected with Kingston Pike on the east.

  • Blue Grass Council History
    BLUE GRASS COUNCIL COMPLETE HISTORY — BY TIM BROWN — BSA Beginnings As it must be with most councils in the Boy Scouts of America, the history of The Blue Grass Council is a long and storied history. The Blue Grass Council that exists today is the culmination of many factors over a long period of time. Factors such as geography, demographics, and economics… as well as council mergers, policy changes, and the use of long-term camps, all play an important role in the eventual success or failure of a council. Identifying and understanding these factors is critical to the formation of a council’s true and accurate history. Thus, the historical evolution of the Blue Grass Council must commence with the earliest beginnings of the Scouting movement in central, eastern, and southeastern Kentucky. That story is as follows… The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) was incorporated on February 8, 1910. The new organization was modeled after Britain’s successful ‘The Boy Scouts Association’ founded in 1907 by Lord Robert Baden-Powell and introduced into this country by American businessman William D. Boyce. Prior to the BSA’s arrival, a few Boy Scout troops began to appear in this country as an extension of the British program. One such troop was located in Frankfort, Kentucky, and existed as early as October of 1908 (see photo above). That date makes it Kentucky’s first Scout troop and likely one of the first Scout troops in the nation. The troop was founded by local YMCA Director Stanley A. ‘Stan’ Harris. Mr. Harris had read about Britain’s Scouting Association, and was greatly intrigued by its program and the benefits it offered to young boys.
