Inscription. Colonel Robert Henry Dyer served under Andrew Jackson in the Natchez Expedition, the Creek War, War of 1812 (Including the decisive Battle of New Orleans), and the Seminole War in 1818. Watered by the Obion and Forked Deer Rivers, most of the county is level or undulating, but hilly near the Mississippi River Bluffs. With Dyer's very productive soil, Dyersburg, at slightly more than 300 feet above sea level has been called the chief town in the cotton-growing bottom lands.
