PREFACE.
"I SPEAK for that heroic State who was baptized in her infancy with the sprinkling of revolutionary blood on King's Mountain; who five years afterward struck again for independence under the banner of the daring young State of Franklin; who grappled single-handed and alone, for fifty years, with the dusky warriors of the forest, in all their battles from the Kentucky line to the Southern Gulf; who beat back the British legions at New Orleans; who smote the false Spaniard at Pensacola; who rushed with Taylor into the breach at Monterey, and shared in the triumphal march from Vera Cruz to Mexico. Thrice has she furnished to the nation in times of peril a Chief Magistrate, each of signal abili- ties. To the Senate she has given the eloquence of Felix Grundy, the wisdom of George W. Campbell, the antique virtues and Roman purity of Hugh L. White. the magnificent oratory of the generous Foster, and the far-reaching statesman- ship of the peerless Bell. And although she has so recently laid away beneath the sods of a hundred battle-fields a wealth of intellect and manhood sufficient to enrich an empire, she can still point with pride to a host of living children worthy of their noble lineage."

EDITORIAL NOTE.
IN a circular addressed to the people of Tennessee, and dated Nashville, January 31, 1582. Ex-Gov. James D. Porter, Judge William F. Cooper, and Hon. Jordan Stokes announced in the following words a scheme of Tennessee History :
"In military and political circles Tennessee occupies a front rank ; yet, strangely enough, to this day the history of the State is a blank. Haywood, Ramsey, and Putnam have done a work meriting profound thanks; but that work respects the early settlements mainly. If any one wishes information concerning any depart- ment of Tennessee history, with the exception of a few biographies, it can be had only by reference to official documents, or old files of newspapers, practically in- accessible. To remedy this defect, Dr. J. Berrien Lindsley has, since 1862, de- voted much time and labor. He now proposes to edit and publish a series of vol- umes covering the whole field. The first, embracing the military annals from 1812 to 1865 inclusive, he hopes to get out during the current year. In prose- cuting this work, he intends visiting every county in the State, and relies upon cordial and liberal cooperation from the people of Tennessee. We are personally aware of the patient drudgery and care exercised by Dr. Lindsley in collecting his materials. Trained to scientific accuracy, Dr. Lindsley will present to the publie a work which may be relied on as a worthy memorial to the noble men who have given our State its proud preeminence. The record is brilliant; Dr. Lindsley's labors will make it known. The orator, the poet, the historian, the publicist, may hereafter at pleasure adorn, embellish, philosophize.
"Having for years been encouraged by leading citizens to prosecute his labors, the editor now comes before the great public of Tennessee. We are confident that this public will give him such a welcome as will keep him hard at work un- til our State history is rescued from its present oblivion, and placed in every in- telligent household within its borders."
Soon thereafter the editor entered upon an extensive correspondence with per- sons likely to take part in the work, both within and without the limits of the State. Pamphlets, fully explaining the plan of the history, were circulated in great numbers and with system. Public meetings were held in the chief cities, calling general attention to the subject. The newspaper press everywhere, with characteristic liberality, gave it fame. A large body of able contributors was en- listed, and these in their turn interested others.
As a result of four years patient, laborious, persistent effort, this volume ap-
