By Maury Nicely

For centuries, the mountains and valleys of East Tennessee have witnessed the march of history, from the frontier exploits of Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone, to the Cherokee Removal and the Trail of Tears, to the battles and brutality of the Civil War, to the development of New South industry and tourism, to the harnessing of the Tennessee River by the Tennessee Valley Authority, to the creation of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and to the downtown renaissance and redevelopment of recent years. East Tennessee Walking Tour & Historic Guide takes readers on a tour of 25 cities and towns throughout East Tennessee, from the urban centers of Chattanooga and Knoxville to small frontier hamlets (Jonesborough), early fortifications (Kingston), strategic river landings (Loudon), industrial boom towns (Harriman), and lost utopian communities (Rugby).
