Summary
| Description |
English: Monument at the Carter County Courthouse in Elizabethton, Tennessee, USA, dedicated to the Watauga Association (1772–1778), a semi-autonomous government that played a prominent role on the 18th-century Trans-Appalachian frontier. The monument erroneously lists the 13-member Washington District Committee of Safety (formed in 1775) as the Watauga Association's first court (this mistake was caused by 19th-century historian J.G.M. Ramsey, who confused the court and the committee). |
