Excerpt from On the Watauga and the Cumberland
The two hunters nursed him tenderly in their rude hut nu til he was strong enough to make the journey back to Wa tauga, he dreaming all the time, no doubt, of claiming from beast and savage the lands of which he had heard.
On his return to the settlement he found everything in a state of turmoil and trouble. The settlers were organizing themselves into bands called Regulators, in order to resist the encroachments of the Royalists upon their rights. The Spirit of Lexington and Bunker Hill was stirring vigorously among these extreme western guardians of American civili zation. The result was the unsuccessful battle of Alamance, May 16, 1771, in which they actually fought against Gov. Tryon and the regular British troops. This Shows the tem per of the men who were to be the founders of the great State of Tennessee.
