PROBABLY the first white people to look upon Tennessee soil were the Spanish cavaliers of De Soto's army in 1541. Reaching the Mississippi, at the site of Memphis, La Salle built Fort Prud'homme 140 years later, on the Fourth Chickasaw Bluff, and in 1714 the French erected Fort Assumption. In 1748 a party of Virginians discovered the Cumberland Mountains, named after the Duke of Cumberland. The North Carolinians entered Tennessee as early as 1754, but they were hurled back across the mountains by hostile Indians. Two years later Fort London was founded on the Little Tennessee. In 1761 a little army of Virginians and North Carolinians, under Colonel Grant, crossed the Alleghanies and defeated the savages in several bloody battles, after which they sued for peace. About the year 1770, the strong tides of migration from Virginia and North Carolina began to flow into Tennessee. Settling along the Holston, Watanza and Nolechucky, they inaugurated Virginian laws in the deep wilderness and suffered many troubles from the Royal Government and the Indians. In 1779-80 a fleet of open boats made an astonishing voyage of 2,000 miles from Fort Patrick Henry to French Lick, where they founded Nashville. The commander of the fleet was John Donelson, whose daughter (Rachel) married General Andrew Jackson. In 1861 the Tennesseans refused to summon a convention to consider seceding from the Untion, but three months later they voted an ordinance of Secession. Within less than a year a great part of the State was restored to Federal authority, and Andrew Johnson became military governor. Thirty counties of East Tennessee refused to join in secession.
