Located .2 mile east on the Big Pigeon River is a strategic
crossing used by the Cherokees. In August 1782, Gen. Charles
McDowell of Burke Co., North Carolina, raised an army of five
hundred mounted militia from Morgan District to cross the
mountains, join Col. John Sevier's army of the same number
from Washington District, and subdue the Indians who sided
with the British. During this three-month campaign, one of the
final skirmishes of the Revolutionary War was fought at this site.
