Host Allen Forkum (editor of The Nashville Retrospect newspaper) interviews Dr. Tom Kanon of the Tennessee State Library and Archives about his book, Tennesseans at War, 1812 to 1815, and that legacy, including: Tennessee rising to national prominence and becoming known as \u201cThe Volunteer State\u201d; Native-Americans losing millions of acres of territory in the Creek War, which Kanon contends was a first step toward the Indian Removal Act of the 1830s; and Gen. Andrew Jackson becoming president of the United States because of his fame after a lopsided victory against the British in the Battle of New Orleans. Also hear how a comet and earthquakes helped launch the war. (Segment begins at 05:15) \u201cAndrew Jackson with the Tennessee forces on the Hickory Grounds (Ala) A.D. 1814\u201d is a circa 1840 lithograph published by Breuker & Kessler. (Image: Library of Congress) \u201cSe-loc-ta, A Creek Chief\u201d is an engraving from The Indian Tribes of North America (1838) by Thomas Loraine McKenney and James Hall. Selocta joined Gen. Jackson as a guide and warrior in his campaign against the Red Sticks, a faction of Creek Indians at war with American settlers. (Image: Library of Congress) This map shows \u201cThe Battle of the Horse Shoe,\u201d which took place on March 27, 1814, between Red Stick Creek Indians and Tennessee troops led by Major General Andrew Jackson. The map is from The Pictorial Field-Book of the War of 1812 (1869) by Benson John Lossing. The original caption: \u201cThe above plan of the battle of Cholocco Litabixee, or the Horseshoe, is arranged from one in Pickett\u2019s History of Alabama. A shows the position of the hill from which Jackson\u2019s canon played upon the breastwork. CCC represents the position of Coffee\u2019s command. (Image: Tennessee State Library and Archives) \u201cTreaty with the Creeks\u201d is an 1847 depiction of the August 1814 meeting at Fort Jackson between representatives the United States, led by Major General Andrew Jackson, and the defeated Creek Indians. Kanon says the Creek Indians lost 22 million acres of land, located in today's Alabama and Georgia. (Image: New York Public Library) \u201cJanuary 8, 1815. British (Gen. Pakenham) Loss: Gen. Pak. & Over 2000 Kd [killed] & Wd [wounded]. American (Gen. Jackson.) Loss: 7 Kd. & 6 Wd.\u201d is a lithograph published circa 1890 by Kurz & Allison of Chicago. (Image: Library of Congress) In this episode's "audio artifact" segment, hear Richard Fulton\u2019s country music record from 1968. Fulton was a Tennessee state senator, a U.S. congressman, and a mayor of Nashville. (Segment begins at 58:00) (Special thanks to Clinton J. Holloway for use of his Richard Fulton record) Richard Fulton\u2019s \u201cPoor Little Paper Boy\u201d was predicted by the Jan. 20, 1968, Billboard magazine to hit the top 20 Hot Country Singles chart, though it apparently did not. (Image: Clinton J. Holloway) And finally, Allen Forkum reviews some of the contents of the January 2019 issue, including: Gen. Tom Thumb\u2019s Nashville visit in 1869; Richard Fulton\u2019s ousting from the state senate in 1955; a speech given at the 1905 emancipation celebration; and a religious controversy in 1835. Also hear an interview with former Nashville Banner reporter Roger Shirley about his 1982 story about the sulphur water fountain at Werthan Industries. (Segment begins at 01:30) (Special thanks to Roger Shirley) A line forms to get a drink of sulphur water at Werthan Industries on Taylor Street at Eighth Avenue North in December 1982. Nashville attorney David Rutherford (standing at the back of the line) tried to get the historic sulphur spring moved to nearby Morgan Park. In the podcast, former Nashville Banner reporter Roger Shirley recalls visiting the foundation to write a story (which was republished in the December 2018 issue of The Nashville Retrospect).  (Image: Nashville Public Library, Nashville Room, photo by Owen Cartwright)   SHOW NOTES A list of articles relating to this episode that you can find in archive issues of The Nashville Retrospect (archive issues can be ordered by clicking here or on the issues links below): \u2022 \u201cThe War of 1812, Part I: Why Tennesseans Should Remember \u2018The Forgotten Conflict\u2019,\u201d by Dr. Tom Kanon, The Nashville Retrospect, June 2012 \u2022 \u201cThe War of 1812, Part II: Tennessee and the Declaration of War,\u201d by Dr. Tom Kanon, The Nashville Retrospect, August 2012 \u2022 \u201cThe War of 1812, Part III: Jackson and His Tennesseans Depart for War,\u201d by Dr. Tom Kanon, The Nashville Retrospect, December 2012 \u2022 \u201cThe War of 1812, Part IV: The Beginnings of the Creek War,\u201d by Dr. Tom Kanon, The Nashville Retrospect, September 2013 \u2022 \u201cThe War of 1812, Part V: Early Battles of the Creek War,\u201d by Dr. Tom Kanon, The Nashville Retrospect, November 2013 \u2022 \u201cThe War of 1812, Part VI: The Battles of Emuckfau and Enitochopco,\u201d by Dr. Tom Kanon, The Nashville Retrospect, January 2014 \u2022 \u201cThe War of 1812, Part VII: The Battle of Horseshoe Bend,\u201d by Dr. Tom Kanon, The Nashville Retrospect, March 2014 \u2022 \u201cThe War of 1812, Part VIII: The Treaty of Fort Jackson,\u201d by Dr. Tom Kanon, The Nashville Retrospect, August 2014 \u2022 \u201cThe War of 1812, Part IX: Jackson\u2019s \u2018Visit\u2019 to Pensacola,\u201d by Dr. Tom Kanon, The Nashville Retrospect, November 2014 \u2022 \u201cThe War of 1812, Part X: The Battle of New Orleans,\u201d by Dr. Tom Kanon, The Nashville Retrospect, January 2015 \u2022 \u201cThe War of 1812, Part XI: The Trial of Andrew Jackson,\u201d by Dr. Tom Kanon, The Nashville Retrospect, March 2015 \u2022 \u201cThe War of 1812, Part XII: The Legacy of the War,\u201d by Dr. Tom Kanon, The Nashville Retrospect, May 2015 \u2022 \u201cIndians near Detroit,\u201d The Clarion, Jan. 19, 1808 (The Nashville Retrospect, January 2019) \u2022 \u201cFifteen Hundred Volunteers,\u201d The Clarion, Nov. 17, 1812, (The Nashville Retrospect, November 2012) \u2022 \u201cThe Farewell\u201d (a poem from the War of 1812), Nashville Whig, Feb. 17, 1813, (The Nashville Retrospect, February 2013) \u2022 \u201c$850 Reward\u201d (advertisement for deserters), The Clarion, Sept. 1, 1814 (The Nashville Retrospect, September 2018) \u2022 "The Eighth of January," Nashville Union and American,  Jan. 9, 1858 \u2022 "The Eighth of January," Daily Press and Times, Jan. 9, 1869 \u2022 \u201cEarthquake,\u201d The Clarion, Dec. 17, 1811 (The Nashville Retrospect, December 2011) \u2022 \u201cThe 200th Anniversary of The New Madrid Earthquakes: Part I,\u201d by George Zepp, The Nashville Retrospect, January 2012 \u2022 "The 200th Anniversary of The New Madrid Earthquakes: Part II,\u201d by George Zepp, The Nashville Retrospect, February 2012 \u2022 \u201cEarthquake Christians,\u201d by Tom Kanon, The Nashville Retrospect, January 2012 \u2022 \u201cSenate Vote Ousts Fulton,\u201d Nashville Banner, Jan. 5, 1955 (The Nashville Retrospect, January 2019) \u2022 \u201cArtifacts: Richard Fulton record,\u201d by Clinton J.
