Some Account of the Life and Services of William Blount (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book chronicles the life and service of William Blount, one of the most influential figures in the challenging early days of Tennessee's emergence. As an officer in the Continental army and later as a member of the Continental Congress, Blount was at the heart of the American Revolution. Later, as Governor, and Superintendent of Indian Affairs, he skillfully balanced the needs of settlers, with the often-competing claims of Native American tribes. Among his notable accomplishments, Blount negotiated the Treaty of Holston, which established the boundary between the United States and the Cherokee Nation. Through his fearless pursuit of diplomatic solutions to complex frontier problems, Blount played a pivotal role in the westward expansion of the young nation and made a lasting contribution to American history, even though his career was cut short by an impeachment driven by partisan politics.
