KevinMyers, rather than deleting the information, since you have some Wiki know-how, why don't you contribute to the article instead of always reverting it back to the bare minimum of information? I do not have the Wiki know-how that you do, but this article deserves more information than what little it is being scaled down to. Most of the points provided actually come from the National Parks Service, found at this web address: http://www.cr.nps.gov/history/online_books/colonials-patriots/sitec54.htm
Do you not think it is important that Boone's Wilderness Road began there? Or that Tennessee gets it's name from The Long Island of the Holston? ( HaroldKarey ( talk) 04:01, 7 December 2007 (UTC)) ( HaroldKarey ( talk) 04:09, 7 December 2007 (UTC))
Another good website with information that could be used for this page is: http://tennesseeencyclopedia.net/imagegallery.php?EntryID=L048 Understand I am only trying to strengthen the information on this page. ( HaroldKarey ( talk) 07:46, 7 December 2007 (UTC))
I just now edited (weakened) the assertion in the main article that a Yuchi word "Tana-see" referred to this Long Island. All the sources I saw (that were at all reliable-looking and not just reprints from Wikipedia) stated that if Tennessee came from a Yuchi word, the Yuchi place referred to was a different place. For example, http://www.tellicotimes.com/Tenn.html states "Some have proposed that Tennessee is a Yuchi word that means "meeting place". According to an ancient Cherokee tradition, there was once a small settlement of Yuchi (or, Uchee) who occupied the area around the mouth of the Hiwassee River [...]" Of course, if somebody can find a reliable source that "Tana-see" refers to The Long Island, they should put the source in and also identify in the text whose theory it is, as it seems to be a pretty unaccepted view. I actually think that as is (after my edit), the paragraph about Tana-see should really be deleted, but I want to give folks a chance to source it instead.
