Summary:

"American Revolutionary War Patriot and Tennessee pioneer William Yates' reflections on his war service were powerful. "...he got what he fought for - Liberty." This same sentiment applies to thousands of men, women, and children who courageously sacrificed for an ideal far greater than themselves and who went on to forge the State of Tennessee. These individuals are more than names, dates, and places. They were real people: colorful, passionate, and brave. In Patriots to Pioneers, The First Tennessee Volunteers, individuals of diverse backgrounds are brought to life through historically accurate stories and moving works of art. As you read about their struggles and determination, their joys and heartbreaks, may you be as inspired as they were in the quest for "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."" -- back cover.
