Customer Reviews

Light reading about Tennessee history.

This is a collection of short pieces dealing with some aspects of Tennessee history, including people and events through World War I and the 1920's. There is no attempt at in-depth analysis or a great deal of detail, but it's an amusing read and a good starting point if you're interested. C. W. Nestor, Jr.
