PREFACE. 1151685
THIS " History of Nashville" has been written by several different indi- viduals, which will account for such differences of style as may exist; but it is hoped that the work will be found not less accurate on that account. Indeed, it should be more authentic, for the reason that in the selection of the writers special adaptation to the chapters written was sought for in the assignment of the several chapters.
Chapters I., II., III., IV., and V. were written by Rev. Dr. E. E. Hoss, professor in Vanderbilt University at the time of doing the work, but made editor of the Christian Advocate by the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, at its recent session in St. Louis. That Dr. Hoss has peculiar qualifications for writing the chapters assigned to him need scarcely be asserted, particularly to those who know him; and more especially when it is considered that he himself was for many years a resident of East Tennessee, and that his family was so before him, back to his great-grandfather, Governor John Sevier. The natural advantages of the location of Nashville, the history of the Mound Build- ers, Indians, and French, that once roamed the forest wilds of this region, the early settlement of East Tennessee on the Watauga, the expedition of James Robertson, the wonderful voyage of Colonel Donelson down the Tennessee and up the Cumberland to the French Lick-now Nash- ville-are all so well related that it is confidently believed the readers of this volume will be more than satisfied. And if the readers of the His- tory are to be congratulated on having had Dr. Hoss for their instruct- or in the things referred to, Dr. Hoss himself is no less to be congratu- lated on having had assigned to him those chapters which relate to those who so many years ago passed off the stage of action; for their descend- ants-especially those of the Mound Builders, Indians, and French-will be far less critical and much more easily satisfied than those who are

contemporaneous with the events described in other chapters of the History.
Judge William B. Reese wrote Chapters VI., VII., and XVII. That Judge Reese has special ability for the work assigned him is equally well known to all who will have any interest in this History. In a contin- uous experience of nine years the writer of this preface has found no man possessing so much and such accurate information as Judge Reese, and no man so thoroughly imbued with the historic spirit. The reasons for Robertson's coming to the Cumberland may be found stated on pages 73 and 74, with what may perhaps be denominated the probability of cer- tainty. That Robertson and his compeers and followers had a right to settle in this country will be found to be demonstrated with equal force. Judge Reese's felicitous quotations from Featherstonehaugh, the distin- guished English traveler; from Colonel A. W. Putnam's "History of Middle Tennessee; " and his own original account of the movement or movements leading to the naming of "Mero District" and the partial separation of the Cumberland settlements from the rest of the Union will be found of special interest and value. The description of Nashville in 1797, by Francis Bailey, who afterward was the founder and first Pres- ident of the Royal Astronomical Society of England, in Chapter VII., and the curious fact of the surrender of its charter by Davidson Acade- my and the important results as to the tax-payers in the city, will also be found instructive; as well as the revelation as to the monument to Gov- ernor John Sevier, the epitaph to Colonel John Tipton, and the first cap- itol of the State in Nashville, occupied at present-as is recently learned -by Mrs. Brown, the mother by a former husband of the celebrated Congressman from Illinois, John Finnerty. In Chapter XVII. will be found a clear and succinct account of the origin and development of the various courts in the State, both Federal and State, and also a highly ap- preciative account of the origin, and just estimate of the value of the Su- preme Court in the American judicial system, to which this co-equal and co-ordinate department of government is shown to be peculiar. Judge Reese, besides writing the chapters assigned him, was at special pains to read and revise most of the other chapters, and in numerous instances made valuable suggestions, which were almost invariably accepted.

PREFACE.
The rest of the work, including the biographical chapter, was written principally by the writer of this preface, with the assistance of numerous individuals, the names of a few of whom are herewith given. Judge John M. Lea rendered valued assistance in regard to the chapter on banking; Hon. Edward H. East, Rev. C. D. Elliott, Dr. J. Berrien Lindsley, and Prof. W. M. Baskervill, in regard to the chapter on education; Anson Nelson, Esq., with reference to the Baptist Churches and the Banks ; - Hon.
Thomas D. Craighead, E. B. Stahlman, and J. H. Ambrose, in regard to the chapter on transportation ; Dr. John H. Callender and Dr. J. P. Dake, in reference to the medical chapter; and in a general way both Joseph S. Carels, Librarian of the Tennessee Historical Society and Howard Li- brary, and Mrs. S. P. Lowe, Librarian of the State at the Capitol, who have been exceedingly obliging and courteous in every way.
The biographical sketch of Jere Baxter was written by Colonel A. S. Colyar; and E. B. Stahlman's by G. H. Baskette.
The sources of information have been so numerous that they can be referred to only in a general way. The files of old newspapers in the Tennessee Historical Society and in the State Library, as well as those in the office of the Nashville American, recently turned over to the Ten- nessee Historical Society; the "History of Davidson County;" the " History of Middle Tennessee," by A. W. Putnam; the " History of Tennessee," by the Goodspeed Publishing Company, and also the " His- tory of Tennessee," by Hon. James Phelan ; " Old Times in Tennessee," by Judge Jo. C. Guild; "Appleton's Annuals " for 1861, 1862, 1863, 1864, and 1865; the Minutes of the Conferences of the M. E. Church and of the M. E. Church, South; numerous works in the State Library, and also in the Howard Library; the Tennessee Gazetteer, the Directories of Nashville from 1855 down to 1890, and many of Nashville's older as well as younger citizens. These and other sources have been consulted. That the History is free from errors both of omission and commission is not to be supposed. No human work is free from faults, and the most that can be claimed by and for the authors of the work is that they have exercised reasonable diligence in attempting to exclude errors from their several chapters. This they have a right to claim and do claim. The measure of success with which they have met must be left to the impar-

tial judgment and kind indulgence of those competent to pass upon the merits of the work.
It will be observed that the History is fuller in its recital of facts pertaining to the early history of the city than it is with reference to those of more recent occurrence; because those of the former class will in time become more obscure, and because the limits assigned to the work precluded the treatment of later historic matter with equal detail. It will be much easier for the future historian of Nashville to have access to the record of events, for the reason that newspapers now deal much more fully with current affairs.
The labors of future historians would be rendered much more valuable if such cities as Nashville should assign to some individual especially qualified to do the work the collection, classification, and proper arrange- ment of every thing published with reference to any department or feature of the city's life, in a set or series of scrap books and blank books pro- vided by the city for the purpose, taking especial pains to preserve the dates of the clippings. This labor, of course, should be paid for ; for labor without compensation is equally wrong with taxation with- out representation. Under present conditions it is altogether probable that the Secretary of the Merchants' Exchange would be a proper per- son to intrust with this duty; or, if this selection were not suitable, then some one connected with the Tennessee Historical Society might be se- lected. The work of this city collaborator might be submitted regularly, at stated intervals, to a committee appointed to revise it, and his com- pensation might be apportioned by this committee in such manner as to encourage thorough and impartial collections.
