Brigadier General James Robertson

Andrew Jackson and Theodore Roosevelt and others proclaimed Robertson the Father of Tennessee. Technically he was Brigadier General James Robertson. Dr. Terry Weeks from Middle Tennessee State University has a good summary here: http://tennesseeencyclopedia.net/entry.php?rec=1137

Also a new biography just came out regarding Brig General James Robertson check Amazon, B&N and Westbow press - search for James Robertson Father of Tennessee and Founder of Nashville.
