Fort Southwest Point | Kingston, TN
Fort Southwest Point is the only fort in Tennessee being reconstructed on its original foundation. The completed sections of the fort include a barracks, a blockhouse and 250 feet of palisade walls. The fort is owned, operated, and maintained by the City of Kingston.
In 1794 a detachment of federal troops (stationed initially at Knoxville) was assigned to a blockhouse post at Southwest Point. These earliest federal soldiers in the Southwest Territory were identified as belonging to the 12th Company of the 3rd Sub Legion. (MHS; 1793-1794)
From 1792 to 1796, the army of the United States was known as the Legion of the United States and was initially composed of four divisions: Dragoons, Rifles, Artillery and Infantry. A separate Corps of Artillerists and Engineers was created in 1794 and by mid 1798 was composed of 1st and 2nd Regiments of Artillerists and Engineers.
The legion was designed specifically for frontier warfare and had a high proportion of riflemen and light infantry that were usually distinguishable by their caps. Some of these caps (probably constructed similar to those worn in the revolution) were made of leather while others were cut probably from older felt cocked hats and had a visor with an upright front or flap with colored bindings around the edges. There would have been a horse or cowtail mane on the crest of the cap along with a plume and turban (colored cloth) around the bottom edge.
Fort Southwest Point was constructed in 1797 to accommodate a large number of troops. It was located in Kingston, Tn. overlooking the Clinch and Tennessee Rivers. At its peak there were 625 soldiers stationed at Fort Southwest Point. It became the headquarters for federal troops in Tennessee under the command of Colonel David Henley, as agent of war. The U. S. government’s shift to a protectionist role with the Cherokee was seen in how the troops carried their role as peace keepers. Their escort service across Cherokee territory became less to protect the travelers from attack by the Cherokee and more to ensure the travelers did not illegally settle on Cherokee owned lands. In addition, the troops began to further protect Cherokee rights by forcibly removing white settlers who had illegally settled on Cherokee lands.
Several treaties with the Cherokee were negotiated and signed here at Fort Southwest Point. The Treaty of Tellico was negotiated at the fort but was signed at the Tellico Blockhouse.
