THE TRAIL OF TEARS In the valley to the south, that part of the Cherokee Nation which took part in the enforced overland migration to Indian Territory rested for about three weeks in 1839. About 15,000 persons of various ages took part in the march. Several who died while here were buried in this area. |

FORREST RESTED HERE (July 12,
1862) Here, Forrest, with his newly organized brigade of about 1400 cavalrymen, halted for a short rest before making his successful raid on Federal forces at Murfreesboro under General T L Crittenden. He freed a number of hostages from this locality and captured about 1200 prisoners and a quantity of munitions and stores. |
