Top-notch history of early Tennessee
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago

Puts the process of transition from wilderness outposts and small farmingsettlements to statehood into perspective with other events occurring during the same time period.Undoubtedley the best explanation of the establishment and subsequent failure of the state of "Franklin" that I have read.
