One bears the simple Inscription J. Sevier Died September 24, 1815." The other reads "Catharine Sevier (Notice the difference In spelling), Wife of Governor John Sevier of Tennessee. Died October 7. 1SI10. Aged elghty-tw- o years." These had been erected over their graves In Alabama, where they spent their last years. For history, you see, had aot yet given their people the proper iwrapectlve of time through which to view their part In building the uutlon and It was not until nearly a century later that the Tennesseeans reclaimed them as their own and paid to them In enduring stone the honors due their greatness. For this John Sevier Is characterized by one historian thus: The organizer of the first, free and Independent government on the continent. The leader of a great commonwealth; an Indian fighter whom few have ever equalled; a soldier who could meet the finest troops on the continent. In the field and with Inferior numbers win success from adverse circumstances; an administrator who could conduct the affairs of his fellow-meunder circumstances of the greatesl difficulty; a statesman who takes rank not far behind those colossal men who watched the travail pains . and facilitated the delivery of the new nation to be." Of him, too, another historian has written, The most daring spirit. . . . was the young John Sevier of French Hugenot family (originally spelled Xavier) born in Augusta county, Va. It was from Millerstown In Shenandoah county where be was living the uneventful life of a small farmer that he emigrated in December. 1773, to the Watauga region (in eastern Tenrcssee). With his arrival there begins one of the most fascinating and romantic careers recorded In the varied and stirring annals of the old Southwest. In this daring and impetuous young fellow, blue-eyemagnetic, debonair of powerful build, splendid proportions and athletic skill we behold the gallant exemplar of the truly heroic life of the border. The story of his life, thrilling in the extreme. Is rich In all the d elements which impart romance to the arduous struggle of American civilization In the opening years of the Republic. The Watauga settlement had been made In . 1709-70- , by James Robertson and a party of North Carolinians, who had climbed the mountains and built their cabins in a fertile valley on the other side. The young Virginian, who was a man of wealth In those days, soon became a leader in the settlement and for the next 43 years be was the one outstanding figure in that part of the frontier country. For It was not long afier his arrival that he had an opportunity to dcironstrate his qualities of ieadcrsltip in the troubles with the Indians which started during the Dtinmore war of 1774 and continued after the outbreak of the Revolution. During the Revolution Sevier more than once broke up the plans of the British for launching the savages upon the borders and thus delivering a fatal stroke against the colonies who were revolting against the mother touniry. i One of the first of the British attempts was tlme-keejie- Plo-bee- ;; fuir-halre- multi-colore- , SfTjVf cmcim zoiam&tiX'J A "JatHtaM Ism it Ran. llw fort 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Cir!.

Id 1775 when a war party attacked a rude isaded inclosure built on the banks of ' the pal-- Watauga, near Sycamore Shoals. The fort was closely besieged for some 40 days and during this time there occurred the romantic episode which has made famous the story of "Noliohueky Jack" and his Bonny Kate. Despite warning some of the people in the fort, growing tired of the confinement, had gone nutsiik the walls. A party of savages suddenly appealed and tried to cut them off. At the first alarm Sevier sent his men to the walls to cover the flight of the terror-strickefugitives by a sharp rifle fire which would bold off the Indians until ail had readied safety. One young girl. Katherine Sherrill, in her terror, leaped to the top of the palisade and fell over the walls into the arms of the commander. She seemed to have leaied into his heart also, for they were married soon after. During this siege of the fort. Sevier and his men inflicted such heavy losses upon the Indians :hat Oconostota, the great war chief of the thero-keewithdrew his warriors. But the gonlus of Sevier was not shov.n so much In defensive tactics as It was in the tactics ot attack. Time and again he led the borderers on swift expeditions to surprise an Indian village and drive them into headlong rout. Then afier destroying the village and the crops he withdrew to the Watauga In fact long before there was a settlement.
