Arcadia Publishing History in Tennessee History Book

Description

President Harry S. Truman once said, ﾡﾰThe only thing new is the history you donﾡﾯt know.ﾡﾱ Itﾡﾯs not too much to suggest he may have anticipated History in Tennessee: Lost Episodes from the Volunteer Stateﾡﾯs Past, with its accurate sketches about the famous, the infamous and the not so famous in Tennesseeﾡﾯs past, presented in a reader-friendly calendar format. For each day of the year there are facts and true narratives about various incidents, events and personalities in the stateﾡﾯs colorful history. There is nothing ﾡﾰfakeﾡﾱ about them. Readers will find stories about dueling, prostitution, drug abuse, biographies, the pearl diving industry, evangelists and sermons, juvenile delinquency, murders, confetti, medicine, early aviation, lynchings, sports and minority history, to mention a few. As entertaining as a concert at the Grand Ole Opry and as filling as a Miles Darden breakfast, History in Tennessee is both entertaining and educational.
