Excerpt from The Civil and Political History of the State of Tennessee From Its Earliest Settlement Up to the Year 1796: Including the Boundaries of the State

Under the early system of Tennessee, the judges of the Superior Court presided in the districts, as the judges of the Supreme Court of the United States do now. While he was on the bench, between 1812 and 1826, the time of his death, the changes were quite frequent, and during that time he had as his associates Judge John Overton, Hugh L. White, Robert Whyte, Archibald Roane, Thomas Emerson, Jacob Peck, William L. Brown, Samuel Powell, Harry W. Humphrey, John Catron, and George W. Campbell.

Excerpt from The Civil and Political History of the State of Tennessee From Its Earliest Settlement Up to the Year 1796: Including the Boundaries of the State

In presenting at this time to Tennesseeans Judge Haywood's Civil and Political History, patriotism and a natural love for the memory of the author are the motives that actuate me. Judge Haywood wrote that the illustrious deeds of our ancestors might not be forgotten; that we may "have domestic examples to imitate, to gratify the honest pride of the people in the fame of their country, to keep them in mind of the obligations they are under to maintain its glory undiminished, to supply them with standards of patriotism which they may endeavor to exceed and which they must not fall below;" that the sons and daughters of the "Volunteer State" may know from whence sprung that indomitable race who poured their blood as a libation upon the altar of their country and left their bones to bleach upon every battle-field in the war between the States. Looking upon the pages of history chronicled since their time, I say with gratification and pride that the pioneer fathers and mothers of the grand old State have not failed to transmit their shining virtues to posterity. I submit to the patronage of the people, without elimination or addition, an exact reprint of Judge Haywood's History, with the fullest confidence in their patriotism and the merits of the book.
