Chronicles of the Cumberland Settlements

Paul Clements, author

For more than ten years, local writer Paul Clements has researched the frontier history of Middle Tennessee, accumulating all known first hand accounts of settlement from 1779-1796. The result is this wonderful new resource, almost 800 pages long. Join us to learn new revelations about the founders of our state – as John Haywood wrote in 1823, “Ought not their exploits be rescued from the obliteration of time, and the tomb of silence?” Paul Clements has answered this call.
