Massacre at Cavett's Station in Eastern Tennessee


Listen Later

The show shares our research into Alexander Cavett and the destruction of Cavett's Station in eastern Tennessee. In 1793, numerous stations were attacked by the Lower Cherokee and Creek Tribes. Many families were killed including the Cavett family. The show highlights our discoveries and pinpoints our opinions concerning Mars Hill Cemetery and the location of Alexander Cavett's property in Knox County. We also mention the Kingston Pike and a variation between today's route versus the colonial route in 1793. We had on the schedule to share Walton Road but failed to get this portion into the program. We will include that segment in a future show.
