J. G. M. Ramsey

James Gettys McGready Ramsey (March 25, 1797 – April 11, 1884) was an American historian, physician, and businessman, active primarily in East Tennessee during the nineteenth century. Ramsey is perhaps best known for his book, ''The Annals of Tennessee'', a seminal work documenting the state's frontier and early statehood periods. Ramsey was also a major advocate for development in East Tennessee, leading efforts to bring railroad access to the region, and helping to organize the region's first medical society.〔Lisa Oakley, (James Gettys McGready Ramsey ). ''Tennessee Encyclopedia of History and Culture'', 2002. Retrieved: 29 July 2010.〕
As the son of a prominent Tennessee statesman, Ramsey encountered as a child many of the state's important early political figures, giving him a unique historical perspective on the state's early years.〔William Masterson, "J. G. M. Ramsey: Historian of Early Tennessee." Introduction in Ramsey's ''The Annals of Tennessee to the End of the Eighteenth Century'' (Johnson City, Tenn.: Overmountain Press, 1999), pp. xiii-xxix.〕 After his father's death, Ramsey began compiling a vast collection of historical documents related to the state's Watauga, Franklin, and Southwest Territory periods. After years of exchanging advice and notes with fellow historian Lyman Draper, Ramsey published the 700-plus page ''Annals'' in 1853. While the book has been praised for its attention to accuracy and factual detail, modern historians have criticized it for its lack of historical inquiry and its overemphasis on biography and warfare.〔
A lifelong states' rights Democrat, Ramsey supported the Confederacy during the Civil War, and was forced to flee Knoxville ahead of the city's Federal occupation in 1863. While the war left his family and finances in ruins, Ramsey nevertheless returned to Knoxville in the early 1870s, and gradually rebuilt his fortune. His funeral procession in 1884 was the largest ever witnessed in Knoxville until that time.〔
