2. Witness History: Lecture Series 2019
WHAT: Two hundred six years ago, Franklin filled with troops on the march during the War of 1812. Franklin lawyer and author Tony L. Turnbow will discuss Franklin history prior to the Civil War at the historic Hiram Masonic Lodge No. 7 on January 24, at 6:00 p.m.
Turnbow’s new book, Hardened to Hickory: The Missing Chapter in Andrew Jackson’s Life, is based upon unpublished documents he discovered over the past seven years. The book includes descriptions of early Franklin when it was at the edge of American settlement. In 1812, Americans considered Tennessee a western state rather than a southern state. Franklin was not far from the border of the Chickasaw Nation, and attacks by Creek and Shawnee Indians were still expected.
The Masonic Lodge became the scene of President Jackson’s negotiations with the Chickasaw Nation to acquire their land south of Tennessee in August 1830.
This event is free and open to the public.
