The Bad Ass Files: The OverMountain Men

The Overmountain Men

If there was ever an inspirational story that was needed for this specific time in history it is this one!

Sometimes I think our Continental and Confederate forefathers are looking down on us yelling “You can start shooting Anytime you know!”

I absolutely love the Footnote!

Side note: One of the Overmountain Men commanders was a guy named John Sevier. After the Revolution, Sevier declared the Overmountain Towns a separate state, which he named the State of Franklin. He was tried and convicted of Treason for this, but instead of going to jail he ran for State Legislature, won, and then passed a law pardoning himself of Treason. He went on to become the first governor of Tennessee, a 3-time U.S. congressman, and once very nearly fought a duel with Andrew Jackson.

Stay Alert, Armed and Dangerous!
