Demolished[edit]

The replica fort mentioned throughout this article was torn down nearly a year ago. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.227.227.25 (talk) 18:41, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Who was headed north?[edit]

" Headed north on the Tennessee river past the "Big Bend" in what is today Hardin County, Tennessee, the natives attacked the Donelson party..."

Wait a minute... the NATIVES were headed north on the Tennessee River? rowley (talk) 18:41, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cherokee or Chickasaw?[edit]

The section titled "Native American attacks" [sic] starts out talking about Dragging Canoe's Chicamauga Cherokees attacking the fort. Then, out of the blue, it says that the "Chickasaw attacks decreased the following year." When did the Chickasaws join in attacking the settlers? Or is this a mistake? rowley (talk) 19:37, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fort Nashborough never existed[edit]

The structure(s) existed, but the only place the name appears in historical documents was in the Cumberland Compact. Settlers, land agents and politicians of the time called it by different names, including Bluff Fort, Bluff Station, French Lick Fort, Cumberland River Fort. Also, it wasn’t originally just one fortification, but a collection of individual “forts” or stations within a settlement area; the forts were widely separated each on it’s own land grant. The settlement was officially named Nashville in 1784. The article probably ought to be moved to a name as used, because “Nashborough” lacks historicity, even though it makes a nice precursor to Nashville. Sbalfour (talk) 14:47, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
