Approaching the bridge, there was a slight fear due to it swinging. It was very safe and kinda exciting! On the island side, there was a beautiful monument for the local Cherokee Indian Tribes. Sadly, someone has spray painted it :( There was a little bit of trash, as well. Contacted the city of Kingsport with no luck. My mother had never known this existed and was very interested to learn more. The grass could've been cut, but it was still a beautiful site! Check it out when you can!

Nothing there, really. No marker, a baseball field dominates the battleground. I guess to history it was just a skirmish between settlers and Cherokee, but to my ancestor, it was the largest battle in Tennessee in the Revolutionary War between militia an British baked forces. There were only 260 combatants and TN was not a state yet, but if you are going to recall the battle, there should be a marker
