  • Tennessee Civil War Trails Program 213 Newly Interpreted Marker
    Tennessee Civil War Trails Program 213 Newly Interpreted Markers Installed as of 6/9/11 Note: Some sites include multiple markers. BENTON COUNTY Fighting on the Tennessee River: located at Birdsong Marina, 225 Marina Rd., Hwy 191 N., Camden, TN 38327. During the Civil War, several engagements occurred along the strategically important Tennessee River within about five miles of here. In each case, cavalrymen engaged naval forces. On April 26, 1863, near the mouth of the Duck River east of here, Confederate Maj. Robert M. White’s 6th Texas Rangers and its four-gun battery attacked a Union flotilla from the riverbank. The gunboats Autocrat, Diana, and Adams and several transports came under heavy fire. When the vessels drove the Confederate cannons out of range with small-arms and artillery fire, Union Gen. Alfred W. Ellet ordered the gunboats to land their forces; signalmen on the exposed decks “wig-wagged” the orders with flags. BLOUNT COUNTY Maryville During the Civil War: located at 301 McGee Street, Maryville, TN 37801. During the antebellum period, Blount County supported abolitionism. In 1822, local Quakers and other residents formed an abolitionist society, and in the decades following, local clergymen preached against the evils of slavery. When the county considered secession in 1861, residents voted to remain with the Union, 1,766 to 414. Fighting directly touched Maryville, the county seat, in August 1864. Confederate Gen. Joseph Wheeler’s cavalrymen attacked a small detachment of the 2nd Tennessee Infantry (U.S.) under Lt. James M. Dorton at the courthouse. The Underground Railroad: located at 503 West Hill Ave., Friendsville, TN 37737.

The CCSRC is composed of nine total members, with one appointed by each Councilmember with a formal or informal background of the history and geography of New Orleans. Mayor LaToya Cantrell and the City Planning Commission appointed the remaining two members. The Commission was charged with several key responsibilities, which included conducting a thorough research and public engagement process to develop a comprehensive set of renaming recommendations for streets, parks, and places across the city. In the course of auditing the list of City streets beyond those initially identified by the New Orleans Public Library, the Commission consulted a panel of experts to provide an additional set of names, which was used to formulate the recommendations listed in this report.

  • Forrest's Escort, January, 2012
    Forrest’s Escort The Official Newsletter of the Tennessee Division Sons of Confederate Veterans January 2012 (Nashville, TN) - The Save Our Flags program, an initiative of the Tennessee Division Sons of Confederate Veterans, today announced its next conservation project as the Battle Flag of the 14th Tennessee which was carried and captured at Gettysburg. The men of this unit were primarily from Montgomery, Robertson, and Stewart counties in northern Middle Tennessee; their flag is currently owned by the citizens of Tennessee and resides in the Tennessee State Museum, where it has been designated as a priority for conservation. Across the nation, as Americans commemorate the 150th anniversary of the American Civil War, attention is being drawn to the battlefields, relics, and the memories of the men who fought. This flag of the 14th Tennes- see Infantry was used for about a year before it was captured during Pickett’s Charge, and then forwarded away from the battlefield (and the elements). Made from wool bunting, a tough fabric which resisted water and the elements much better than cotton and silk, the focus on this flag is toward conservation, not restoration. Tennessee State Museum textile experts have given us an estimate for conservation at $12,500. Senator Douglas Henry of Nashville, a longtime supporter of the State Museum, was pleased to make the first contribution to the project. James Turner, chairman of the Save Our Flags program, stated, “We appreciate Senator Henry stepping forward as he so often has, and we are optimistic that the entire amount can be raised by the end of 2012, making it possible for the flag to be con- served by the end of the sesquicentennial obser- vance in 2015.” The Tennessee Division SCV has donated an esti- mated $50,000 to the Tennessee State Museum over the past few years specifically to conserve these historic banners, and now you can also help.

In this editio of the Escot… Reports from Division Officers Brigade Commander Reports News from Around the Division Articles from Lee Millar, Bryan Green, & Barbara Parsons "To you, Sons of Confederate Veterans, we will commit the vindication of the cause for which we fought. To your strength will be given the defense of the Confederate soldier's good name, the guardianship of his history, the emulation of his virtues, the perpetuation of those principles which he loved and which you love also, and those ideals which made him glorious and which you also cherish.” Lt. General Stephen Dill Lee, UCV Commander General Division Officers https://www.tennessee-scv.org/ Division Commander Joey Nolan Tennessee Division Compatriots, I pray you all are doing well as we have gone from summer and into fall. It goes without saying that this past summer, and 2020 as a whole, has been one big roller coaster. But as Southerners always do, we have persevered and will press forward. As you all know, we were unable to hold our 2020 Tennessee Division Reunion in Greeneville, TN due to restrictions in place because of Covid-19. The members of John Hunt Morgan, Camp 2053, who had worked tirelessly to make the weekend of August 21 and 22 a success, and put together a great Reunion at the General Morgan Inn. Sadly, three weeks before the Reunion word was received that we would need an alternative. Thank you to Tim Massey and all the members of Camp 2053, and we hope to hold our Reunion in Greeneville in the near future.
