Sewanee - People, Places, and Times

By Patricia Short Makris

SEWANEE - PEOPLE, PLACES AND TIMES, focuses on what was going on during the Civil War in Franklin County in 1863. The book includes numerous personal diary entries of soldiers who were in the area at the time. For more than a year, I researched the Civil War and Cornerstone stories, and located documents, which verified the fact that discrepancies did exist in the stories. I became aware of the discrepancies in 2005. Therefore, I felt that it was my duty to tell about the discrepancies and provide my readers an accurate version of the stories for history's sake. Some of these stories with discrepancies have been in print for over 100 years. The discrepancies were discovered because union soldiers camped at University Place (Sewanee) wrote about the cornerstone in their diaries. They gave firsthand accounts of what actually happened to the Cornerstone, which differs from what has been written previously in a number of books and articles about it. The book also includes the 1916 Sewanee, Tennessee Leaseholders Census; the 1930 Sewanee, Tennessee Area Census; 1932 Sewanee, Tennessee Telephone Directory, and the list of Sewanee Residence that served in WWII.
