I was looking for Blount's involvement in the creation of the independent state of Franklin. Any clue where I might find something about that? DBritt

[edit] Possible Copyright Violation

I see lots of similarities to here: http://www.army.mil/cmh-pg/books/RevWar/ss/blount.htm

Someone should look into this as I'm not quite versed in the wikiquette of how to investigate this.

See Wikipedia:Copyright. We have the {{copyvio}} template for dealing with copyright violations. However, in this case, a .mil domain indicates the US government, and works of the US government would normally be public domain.

In fact, the link you give above is also given within the article, as one of the references. -- Curps 17:32, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Strange sentence?

This sentence seems odd to me: "This second defeat in the South, the result of inadequate preparations, provided the young Blount a lesson that would stand him in good stead in later years". I added a fact tag, but it doesn't show any examples of how it was useful for him. --Awiseman 15:20, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
