An Entity of Type: historic place, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Sycamore Shoals of the Watauga River, usually shortened to Sycamore Shoals, is a rocky stretch of river rapids along the Watauga River in Elizabethton, Tennessee. Archeological excavations have found Native Americans lived near the shoals since prehistoric times, and Cherokees gathered there. As Europeans began settling the Trans-Appalachian frontier, the shoals proved strategic militarily, as well as shaped the economies of Tennessee and Kentucky. Today, the shoals are protected as a National Historic Landmark and are maintained as part of Sycamore Shoals State Historic Park.

  • The Sycamore Shoals of the Watauga River, usually shortened to Sycamore Shoals, is a rocky stretch of river rapids along the Watauga River in Elizabethton, Tennessee. Archeological excavations have found Native Americans lived near the shoals since prehistoric times, and Cherokees gathered there.

Today, the shoals are protected as a National Historic Landmark and are maintained as part of Sycamore Shoals State Historic Park. Explorer James Robertson (later a founder of Nashville) identified the alluring flatlands at Sycamore Shoals, known as the Watauga Old Fields, in 1770, and led a group of colonists to the area shortly thereafter. In 1772, the Watauga settlers established the Watauga Association, one of the first constitutional governments west of the Appalachian Mountains and the "germ-cell" of what would later become the state of Tennessee. In 1775, Richard Henderson and Daniel Boone negotiated the Treaty of Sycamore Shoals, in which Henderson's Transylvania Company purchased a large part of modern Kentucky and part of Tennessee from the Cherokee. The following year, the Watauga settlers successfully repelled one arm of a Cherokee group contesting land near Fort Watauga in a struggle that saw the creation of numerous stories surrounding figures such as Nancy Ward and John Sevier. In 1780, at the height of the American Revolutionary War, the frontier militia known as the Overmountain Men mustered at Sycamore Shoals as it prepared to march across the mountains en route to victory over British loyalists at the Battle of Kings Mountain.

  • Sycamore Shoals (z ang. „Jaworowe Płycizny”) – historyczna nazwa odcinka rzeki Watauga w pobliżu miejscowości w stanie Tennessee, w USA, gdzie znajdował się bród przez rzekę. Obecnie park stanowy założony w roku 1966. Amerykańscy osadnicy wznieśli w tym miejscu . Sędzia Richard Henderson i traper Daniel Boone spotkali się tu z Czirokezami dla zawarcia traktatu, na mocy którego Indianie odstąpili białym ogromny szmat ziemi (ponad połowę dzisiejszego stanu), na którym powstała tzw. Transylvania, kolonia nieuznawana przez władze istniejących kolonii brytyjskich. W roku 1776 oddział czirokeskich wojowników pod wodzą - niezadowolonych z transakcji i sprzymierzonych z Brytyjczykami podczas wojny w koloniami - przypuścił atak na osady Watauga i Holston. Osadnicy, ostrzeżeni przez „ukochaną kobietę” Czirokezów , zdołali na czas przygotować się do obrony. Stoczono dwie bitwy: jedną w pobliżu Long Island na rzece (w dzisiejszym Kingsport), drugą nad Sycamore Shoals koło Fortu Watauga. W kilka lat później Fort Watauga stał się bazą oddziałów ruszających w 1780 roku do bitwy pod . (pl)
