Durham The State of State History in Tennessee in 2008 The Underground Railroad in Tennessee to 1865 A Report by State Historian Walter T. Durham Tennessee State Library and Archives Department of State Nashville, Tennessee 37243 Jeanne D. Sugg State Librarian and Archivist Department of State, Authorization No. 305294, 2000 copies November 2008. This public document was promulgated at a cost of $1.77 per copy. Preface and Acknowledgments In 2004 and again in 2006, I published studies called The State of State History in Tennessee. The works surveyed the organizations and activities that preserve and interpret Tennessee history and bring it to a diverse public. This year I deviate by making a study of the Under- ground Railroad in Tennessee and bringing it into the State of State History series. No prior statewide study of this re- markable phenomenon has been produced, a situation now remedied. During the early nineteenth century, the number of slaves escaping the South to fi nd freedom in the northern states slowly increased. The escape methodologies and ex- perience, repeated over and over again, became known as the Underground Railroad. In the period immediately after the Civil War a plethora of books and articles appeared dealing with the Underground Railroad. Largely written by or for white men, the accounts contained recollections of the roles they played in assisting slaves make their escapes. There was understandable exag- geration because most of them had been prewar abolitionists who wanted it known that they had contributed much to the successful fl ights of a number of slaves, oft times at great danger to themselves.

Following in Ellis footsteps is a thrilling adventureBy Timothy E. MasseyBeing an East Tennessean and growing up hearing the tales of the Daniel Ellis adventures it was great to finally read his book. I was inspired to visit his grave, his old cabin home which still stands, and many of the areas he talks about. I found his memory to be a bit off in a few instances, but overall a great read from the man who walked the path. By this I mean, tracing some of the names in the census that he mentions proved to be futile, which in reality, he likely changed to protect those involved. Still a fun read to view the war through the eyes and life of an East Tennessee Unionist.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Interesting BookBy VintageGirlVery interesting book. I wonder if he had a ghost writer.

  • 21 the Battle of Kings Mountain
    The Battle of King’s Mountain Essential Question: What was the significance of the Battle of King’s Mountain? By 1780 the British had turned their attention to the southern colonies, in part because of the large number of loyalists, or Tories who lived there. The British won an impressive victory over the Patriot force at Camden in August of 1780. Cornwallis, the British commander, then sent Major Patrick Ferguson to suppress rebellion in the backcountry. Ferguson selected a prisoner to carry a message back to the rebels across the mountains, “If you do not desist from your opposition to the British arms, I will march over the mountains, hang your leaders, and lay waste to your country with fire and sword.”1 Upon hearing of Ferguson’s threat, Isaac Shelby, leader of the North Carolina mountain militia, immediately consulted with John Sevier at Sycamore Shoals. Shelby and Sevier decided to combine their forces and take the battle across the mountains to Ferguson. The men agreed to meet at Sycamore Shoals along the Watauga River on September 25, 1780. Eventually over 1,000 militia or Overmountain Men, including some from Virginia, gathered at Sycamore Shoals present-day Elizabethton. Before leaving, the men heard an inspirational sermon from Presbyterian minister and educator Samuel Doak. Doak reminded the men of the biblical story of Gideon whose small force defeated the larger Midianite army.2 Armed with inspiration from Doak and 500 pounds of gunpowder, the men began the difficult march across the mountains. Two defector’s from Sevier’s command warned Ferguson of the approaching force.

Banner, a slave Banner Elk, showing the Land of Goshen All photographs courtesy Banner House Museum owner, was a Unionist with three sons in the Federal army. He frequently provided food and shelter for escapees while they waited for their guides. Banner’s son Samuel H. Banner, a member of the 5th Ohio Infantry, built this house after his discharge in February 1864. The laurel thicket by the river was known as the Land of Goshen and served as a hiding place for escapees and draft evaders. In January 1865, a raid on the Confederate Home Guard camp along Cove Creek in Sugar Grove originated in Banner Elk. After capturing Co. B, 11th Battalion North Carolina Home Guard, the Union raiders returned to Banner Elk with a dozen prisoners. They spent the night nearby before Samuel H. Banner Lewis B.
