Wataugan Self-Governance: The Trans-Appalachian South and the Declaration of Independence, 1763-1776
The Watauga Settlement was one of the first settlements west of the Appalachian Mountains. Settlers such as John Sevier and Daniel Boone created their own government known as the Watauga Association prior to the Declaration of Independence. Sevier and Boone insisted British imperial policies limited westward expansion and failed to protect settlers from Native American resistance movements. They believed these policies were detrimental to their safety and prosperity. Thomas Jefferson agreed with these sentiments and incorporated them in the Declaration.
Dr. Chris Magra is Professor of Early American history at the University of Tennessee. He is also the Director of the Center for the Study of Tennesseans and War. He has published two books on the American Revolution. The Fisherman’s Cause examines the New England codfisheries and the transatlantic business rivalries and resource competition among fish merchants that helped bring about the imperial crisis. Poseidon’s Curse explains why British naval impressment contributed to the origins of the Revolution. He is currently completing an edited collection of essays on the military history of the Declaration of Independence that will be out with the University of Tennessee Press next July for the 250th anniversary.

RESCHEDULED - The Coalminers Present Always Loretta: The Ultimate Loretta Lynn Tribute Show
2026-03-15 15:00 - 17:00 | Maryville College, Maryville, 37804, United States
Due to inclement weather, this performance originally scheduled for Saturday, January 24 has been rescheduled for Sunday, March 15 at 3PM. All tickets previously purchased will be honored for the new date—no exchange or action is necessary.
The Coalminers — the band who toured with Loretta Lynn for over 40 years in front of more than 25 million fans at 5000+ shows worldwide — continues to celebrate the Queen of Country with their amazing presentation of ALWAYS LORETTA featuring Emily Portman as Loretta. Emily portrayed Loretta in the Conway Twitty musical “It’s Only Make Believe,” and during frequent trips to visit the country star at her ranch in Hurricane Mills Tennessee, Emily traded stories and moments with Loretta that forged a strong bond and a real friendship between the two women. When Loretta died in October of 2022, her family knew that Emily and The Coalminers were the way to keep Loretta’s legacy alive.
Together, The Coalminers and Emily deliver the most authentic recreation of a Loretta Lynn concert to be found anywhere….presenting the songs of Loretta Lynn the way she performed them and first-hand stories of their on-the-road adventures from the band who backed her at premier venues from Carnegie to Albert Hall, from Sydney Opera house to the Grand Ole Opry and shares a unique viewpoint of Loretta’s music that can’t be duplicated by anyone else. You will of course hear the biggest hits from Loretta’s legendary career, and other fan favorites that only occasionally made it into the normal tour song list. One of the highlights of the show is the “Get to Know Loretta” section, where The Coalminers take questions from the audience and share funny stories about life on the road with Loretta.
This 90 minute concert is a wonderfully authentic glimpse into the touring world of Loretta Lynn – an evening of music and memories honoring The Queen of Country and her legendary career by a good friend who sounds just like her and by the band who knew her best.
This performance of ALWAYS LORETTA is proudly sponsored by DENSO Manufacturing Tennessee, Inc., whose generous support helps bring outstanding live performances to our community.
