HARTMAN, Tenn, April 2S. ~ East
Tennessee is rich in places of historical
interest, and hundreds of tourists from
northern states make pilgrimages to
them. Elizabethton, in the Watanga
valley, is one Of the most interesting To-
calities in the state. It is an old town,
started in 1897. Near the village stands
the modest home of Andrew johnson,
and an old sycamore tree is pointed out
to visitors to the town, under which the
first court ever held in the state was
held. N. G. Taylor and Landon G.
Haynes were born here.
There is an incident connected with
Andrew Johnson's death that has never
been printed. In front of his old house
runs the Watanga river. The water is
swift and the ford deep and dangerous.
A man was taking a drove of cattle
across and Mr.. johnson, who stood in
his doorway watching them, noticed
that some of the cattle were getting into
very deep water and were in danger Of
drowning. He became somewhat ex-
cited by his efforts to attract the drivers
attention, and his old neighbors say
thatthe exertion and excitement brought
on the stroke of apoplexy that caused
his death.
Just above the village on Doe river
are the ruins of an iron furnace once
owned and operated by Parson Brown
lows father-in-law-O. Bryan. A large
tree is now growing up through the old
stack. Elizabethton used to be a tough
town, but new generation has arisen
and there has been marked improve
ment. Local option was adopted and
works well.
Every reader of war history, and those
who remember the stirring events of
that period will recall the trials and
dangers through which the loyal men Of
east Tennessee passed. Near the village
of Elizabethton lives one of the bravest
and truest of those patriots-Dan Ellis.
He is said to have killed more Confed-
crates with his own hand during the
war than any other one man. For more
than four years he secuted through the
mountains, often in sight of his own
home, and yet in all that time he dared
not sleep under his own roof epiloted
over 5000 loyalists to the Union lines
during the war, and was such disturb
ing element to the Confederates that
they made a standing offer of 5000 for
him, dead or alive. Dan is still hearty
and vigorous, and talks about his thrill
ing adventures very Interestingly. Just
below the village is Sycamore shoals.
where the gallant Sewer and his band
Of loyal men fendezycused before they
started to Kings mountain.
