Appalachian Aspirations is an interesting and well-written story of the industrialization of an area of East Tennessee referred to as the Upper Tennessee River Valley. This encompasses the present day counties of Loudon and Roane Counties and the towns/cities of Lenoir City, Loudon, Harriman, Kingston, and Rockwood areas. After an introduction to the subject of the pre-industrialization era prior to the Civil War, the author develops the ways in which the agricultural economy-- which was the primary source of livelihood on relatively small farms--was depleted during the Civil War and how that helped the industrialization of the area after the Civil War.

Benhart builds the story by telling of two Union soldiers who fought in the area during the Civil War and decided to stay. John Wilder and Hiram Chamberlain were the primary developers of the Roane Iron Company. They realized the potential of the mineral richness of the area. Their northern contacts helped build the industry and fund  improvements necessary for development, such as land acquisitions, all played a significant part in the industrialization of the area. The development of the Roane Iron Company was also the beginnings of the “company” town of Rockwood which was named for one of the early founders.

One of the interesting parts of Benhart’s observations was the relative isolation of East Tennessee as compared to Middle and West Tennessee. East Tennessee’s mountains affected the development of the area and the types of industries likely to be developed. The relative closeness to rivers for water transport, and the development of the railroads in areas that had barely had rail transport at all, along with land companies developments, helped to bring industrialization to the area. The state government played a part in developing roads in areas that previously had very little access by road. State government officials  encouraged industrialists to come to the area, which facilitated economic development.

In his conclusion, the author’s focus on the region during this time period of 1865-1900 outlined the parallel ways of development that occurred in other parts of Appalachia and showed the stages and types of capitalism in the later nineteenth century.

John Benhart is a professor and chair in the Department of Geography and Regional Planning in Indiana University of Pennsylvania. This book is a good addition to library collections, especially in academic libraries, for students in history, geography and regional development.

Carson, Jo.  Teller Tales:  What Sweet Lips Can Do and Men of Their Time.  Athens:  Ohio University Press, 2007. 138 pages.  ISBN: 0821417541.

Jo Carson is a nationally known playwright.  As a native Tennessean, Carson has a unique voice for telling the stories of the Appalachian region.  This book contains two performance pieces originally written and produced for the Orchard at Altapass, an apple orchard on the Blue Ridge Parkway.  The stories help tell the history of the Orchard at Altapass, which has the old Yellow Mountain Trail running through it.  Both stories, although not necessarily well known, are important history for the eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina regions.

The first story, What Sweet Lips Can Do, tells about the Overmountain Men and the Battle of King’s Mountain, beginning with a bit of history leading up to the American Revolution and the settlement at Sycamore Shoals, from whence the Overmountain Men departed.  The Sweet Lips of the story refers to a gun carried by sixty-two year old Robert Young, who named the weapon in honor of his wife Mary.  Men of Their Time tells the story of the Cherokee war chief, Dragging Canoe, and the relationships of the whites and Cherokees from the time of early contact through the American Revolution.  In both stories, the background information and side stories lend a richness to the events and makes the characters come to life.

In her introduction, Carson asks the reader to imagine the stories being told aloud or even to read them aloud with two voices.  She also makes it clear that the stories are as accurate as they can be, but does not claim to include every detail.  As a playwright, she is telling a story that is meant to be dramatized.  At the end of the book, Carson includes a list of sources covering the period from about 1720 to 1800 for those readers who want more information on the topics covered in her stories. 

The reader can almost imagine sitting at the kitchen table, listening to two older relatives tell family stories. Anyone expecting a straight history text will be disappointed because Carson’s book is not conventional history.  What Carson does accomplish, however, is bringing history to life in an entertaining way that will appeal to almost everyone.  Through these stories, the reader learns a great deal about life in the region during the eighteenth century, when the country was still young and rugged.

Carson’s book is appropriate for all libraries, but may be especially enjoyed by young people at school and public libraries and those who enjoy storytelling.  The slim book, only 138 pages, is quick and easy to read. People wishing to perform the stories, which Carson wholeheartedly supports, can contact her to make arrangements through Ohio University Press.

Cox, Caroline. A Proper Sense of Honor: Service and Sacrifice in George Washington’s Army. Chapel Hill: University ofNorth Carolina Press, 2004. 328 pages. ISBN: 080782884X.

Caroline Cox, an associate professor of history at the University of the Pacific, explores the roles, behavior, attitudes, and life of soldiers and officers in the Continental army during the American Revolution in A Proper Sense of Honor: Service and Sacrifice in George Washington’s Army. Originally released in 2004 the University ofNorth Carolina Press has issued A Proper Sense of Honor in paperback making this specialized book available for those who missed it the first time.

The book progresses through a soldier’s service in the Continental army. There is some discussion of militia life but only as a comparison point for service in the regular army. Topics addressed include recruiting, training, punishment, health, burial, and prisoner treatment. The status of a soldier and officer is compared through the various stages and conditions of their service. It is this relationship and its links to the social conditions of the era that are the strength of this study.

The contrast between the conditions of a soldier and an officer is striking. This difference arises from the social relationship between a gentleman and commoner in civilian life. These attitudes and behaviors from civilian life are mimicked in the officer and soldier relationship in the military. Attitudes towards gentlemen as officers was also found in the British army, which served as the model for the Continental army. It was natural that the Americans turned to the British army structure for guidance since many had fought with the British during the French and Indian war.

The contrast between soldier and officer in living conditions, punishment, medical treatment, treatment as prisoners, death and burial are stark.  A public reprimand for an officer was deemed as harsh as the corporal punishment of the lash inflicted on a soldier. Severe punishment for an officer would be dismissal from the army whereas a soldier would have his enlistment extended. This contrast was evident in all aspects of army life and reflected the social status of the individuals in the civilian world.

The book has an extensive 34 page bibliography divided into sections by resource types, which include manuscripts, government documents, newspapers, electronic sources, published primary sources, and secondary sources. Thirty-six pages of endnotes and an index round out the special features that historical researchers will value.

A Proper Sense of Honor is recommended for any library with a comprehensive American Revolution or military studies collection.

Lepa, Jack. The Civil War in Tennessee, 1862-1863. Jefferson, NC: McFarland & Company, 2007. 239 pages. ISBN: 078642978X.

Jack Lepa has carefully documented a detailed military history of the Civil War in Tennessee from 1862 to 1863. Strategically important for its rivers, railroads, and as a door to the Deep South, Tennessee was a hotly contested state, and many of the war’s largest and bloodiest battles were fought on its soil. Victory inTennessee was crucial to both sides. The Confederacy could not afford to lose the state’s many resources, from its mineral wealth in the east to the farming and industrial centers in the middle, and especially theMississippi river in the West. The Tennessee and Cumberland rivers were also crucial for transporting Confederate troops and supplies. If the Union could gain control of the rivers and then key cities, such as the railroad center of Chattanooga, they could open the way to the Deep South. The Rebels desperately needed this buffer and fought a valiant, but in the end, losing fight to protect their fledgling Confederacy.

Lepa details the Union and Confederate campaigns from the first battle at Fort Donelson to Shiloh, Stone’s River, Chickamauga and finally Chattanooga. Out of these battles many familiar names emerge, most notably Ulysses S. Grant, whose arrival in Tennessee added momentum to the Union quest for the state. Lepa gives the reader a behind the scenes view of what was transpiring between officers and how personal ambitions, rivalries, and sometimes simple miscommunication affected the outcome of battles. Along with many secondary sources, Lepa also uses contemporary sources such as memoirs and official correspondence. Not only do readers get a glimpse into the officer’s world but they also hear from many of the troops on both sides. Their accounts of a bitter cold night awaiting battle at Fort Donelson, of marching for miles in the rain at Chattanooga, or of the gruesome scene after Shiloh shed some light on the human cost of war.
 

Readers familiar with the area will recognize many place names and will find the details interesting. Those not so familiar may get overwhelmed with so much detail and may find this a tedious read. Very few maps or drawings of battle lines are included. This addition would have greatly improved the work. Overall, it is a straightforward and accurate description of the military campaigns in Tennessee, but nothing new is added to Civil War historiography. If they don’t have them already, libraries could find more original and better written works on the topic and probably for less than $45.

Martin, C. Brendan. Tourism In The Mountain South: A Double-Edged Sword. Knoxville: University of Tennessee Press, 2007. 264 pages. ISBN: 1572335750.

This book, published by The University of Tennessee Press, is a multi-disciplinary look at the impact of the tourism business in certain areas of the Southern United States.  The author studied the locales of Sevier County, TN (including Pigeon Forge, Sevierville and Gatlinburg), Townsend, TN; the Western North Carolina regions of Asheville, Hot Springs, Branson, MO and the Ozark region of Arkansas. While at first it may seem a bit of a stretch to include such areas as Branson and the Ozarks within the scope of this book, it turns out that those areas have deep cultural, political and developmental ties to the other areas in this study.

The subtitle is well chosen; the author focuses on three major themes in the book: economy, culture, and environment. He shows that while the South has benefitted greatly from the tourism industry, he also points out a number of pitfalls as well: environmental degradation, economic exploitation, cultural clashes and unregulated development that has led to the loss of wildlife habitat, mountain erosion and pollution.

The author is a member of the history faculty at Middle Tennessee University, and is also on the staff of theLevine Museum of the New South.  His expertise is in the area of public history, and he seems well versed in statistical sampling, economic and environmental issues and the fine art of the personal interview.

Arranged into two parts, they correspond to distinct time periods and unique developments. The period from 1865 – 1914 saw the antebellum health spas in the area losing business due to the ravages of the Civil War, but the coming of the railroads also brought economic revival to those spas fortunate enough to be situated close to the railways. This era also brought the beginning of the influx of Northern money and power to the area, with long-lasting effect. The beginnings of the stereotypical “hillbilly” figure had its birth in this period, and people have long made use of the image for economic gain.  The twentieth century brought the advent of the motoring public and the rise of tourism geared less to the affluent vacationer and more to the middle-class vacationer on a limited budget.  His use of historical photos very clearly shows the development of the tourism industry on the Southern landscape.

Anyone interested in the economic, environmental and cultural impact of tourism on this part of the country should have this book on their shelf, and this multi-discipline text should be required reading of Southern historians, tourism experts, public policy makers and environmentalists.  The author very clearly has a love for the area, but he is not blinded by his admiration and thus, unable to critique the area’s benefits and shortcomings.

Naves, Elaine Kalman. Shoshanna’s Story: A Mother, A Daughter, and the Shadows of History. Lincoln, NE: Bison Books, 2006. pages. ISBN: 0803283865.

This book is an intriguing look into the lives of four generations of a family before, during and especially after the Holocaust.  The story narrates the continued effects of surviving the Holocaust. The author states that some of the names  were changed, but  attests that the story is true.

The author of the work is the daughter of the story’s central figure, and although the story is told from several points-of-view, the work is prefaced by the author’s acknowledgement that this is her version of the truth given to her in extensive interviews with her other, father, other relatives and research into secondary sources.

Since Shoshanna’s Story is just that--a story--certain license was taken with the spelling of many Hungarian words, but only to make them accessible to general readers. Name were  altered to protect the privacy of the author’s family; still, dates, events and circumstances in the account are accurate.

Keeping track of all the members of the author’s extended family is tricky, yet despite the multiple characters, the story is very well told.  The story draws its uniqueness from is the dark shadow cast over the family by their experience of and survival of the Holocaust. Even today, each special occasion or notable event is cause for Shoshanna’s remembrances of a darker time. For example, a granddaughter’s college graduation brings back memories of Shoshanna’s own graduation from teacher’s college in May 1939.  She had to travel by train to take her examinations, and on the return trip, Slovaks accused the boy traveling with her of being Jewish and tried to throw him off the train; ironically, he was not Jewish but she was. Her intervention saved the boy’s life, but demonstrated the terror around her as Nazism flexed its muscles.

Teachers of history, sociology or psychology may be particularly interested in this book.  Slowly, as eyewitnesses to the Holocaust begin to die, it is necessary that  accounts be recorded. All libraries attached to institutions of higher learning should retain this book, but general public/branch libraries would do well to keep this book in their  collections as well.

Rozema, Vicki. Footsteps of the Cherokee: A Guide to the Eastern Homelands of the Cherokee Nation/2nd ed. Winston-Salem, NC: John F. Blair Publisher,  2007. 394 pages ISBN 089587346X.

Footsteps of the Cherokee: A Guide to the Eastern Homelands of the Cherokee Nation was written to provide an accurate modern guide to many of the places in the Cherokee homelands that are culturally or historically significant. The area includes parts of Tennessee, the Carolinas, Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky and Virginia. When it was first published in 1996 the book received an Award of Merit from the Tennessee Historical commission. This second edition of Footsteps of the Cherokee updates the original guide with current directions, phone numbers, and other pertinent information. The author, Vicki Rozema, is a photographer as well as writer, and the book also contains over 200 black and white photographs of the sites.

The first part of the book is a narrative of the history of the Cherokee people. It doesn’t go into great detail but is intended as an overview rather than a reference work. It conveys the sense of the long history of the Cherokee people and their interactions with neighbors both Indian and European and provides enough background to clarify the significance of the places the guide covers. In the second part of the book the chapter headings are the 19 distinct geographical areas covered. The sites of interest in each area are listed by name or description. The sites cover a wide range including villages, homes, forts, gravesites, museums and parks.  For each site the guide gives a capsule of background information and detailed driving instructions are included. Where necessary such as in the case of museums or parks, hours of operation are listed along with contact information and phone numbers. A photograph of some aspect of the site is also included with each entry. There is a bibliography to aid further research and an index is provided for easy reference of a names and places.

Footsteps of the Cherokees is very well done and should be a useful resource for public as well as academic libraries. The guide provides information and current directions for well known as well as more obscure sites. The audience for this guide would include members from several groups. Certainly those with a specific interest in Colonial or US history or Cherokee culture or those researching Indian ancestry and local connections could employ this guide.  It should also prove very useful for those with a more general interest in Appalachian culture and especially travelers to the area looking for destinations that were outside the usual tourist attractions.

O’Brien, Tim.  Tennessee: Off the Beaten Path: a Guide to Unique Places. Rev. and updated by Jackie Sheckler Finch.  8th ed.  Guilford, CT.: Insider’s Guide / Globe Pequot Press, 2007. 232 pages.  ISBN: 0762744308.

From Roan Mountain State Park to Reelfoot Lake Tim O’Brien takes his readers on a journey acrossTennessee.  Museums, festivals, restaurants and lodgings are among the attractions included in this book. Travelers are introduced to the Amish settlement of Ethridge; the West Tennessee Strawberry Festival in Humboldt; the white squirrels of Kenton and the model of the Eiffel Tower in Paris.  Some restaurants, such as P.V.’s Hut in Union City, are no larger than my kitchen.  Lodgings include campgrounds and bed-and-breakfast inns as well as the traditional hotels and motels.

O’Brien, a Nashville native who has written several travel books, is an accomplished storyteller.  Since the publication of the first edition in 1990, Tennessee Off the Beaten Path, now in its 8th edition, has grown from 124 to 217 pages.  O’Brien and editor Jackie Sheckler Finch remain true to the original purpose of including off the beaten path attractions in Tennessee.  He considers off the beaten path to be a state of mind, not a location. Some popular locations such as the Great Smoky Mountains National Park are included both  because he considers them too good to pass up and because there too one may step off the beaten path.  LeConte Lodge in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, accessible only by foot, is one such example.

As with previous editions, information is arranged geographically.  Tennessee is divided into these five regions: The First Frontier; the Mountainous East; Plateaus and Valleys; the Heartland; and the Western Plains.  Names of attractions are in bold print. A simple map, with only major towns and roads named is included at the front of each section.  The book is best used in conjunction with a Tennessee highway map.  At the end of each section are separate lists of recommended lodgings and restaurants.  Information given includes a description and historical information, phone no., web address, fee information and hours.  Of special interest to local history buffs will be the historical information provided.  In addition to a general index, separate indexes of fairs and festivals, lodgings, museums,  and restaurants are included.

Not surprisingly, given the wealth of information presented, I noticed a few inaccuracies, including some web links that are no longer accurate.  The author, himself, recommends calling ahead before planning a trip around any single attraction as the proprietor may close early if business is slow.

Recommended for public and academic libraries with extensive travel or local history collections.  Patrons seeking variety along a familiar route will appreciate this book.  A library with a limited travel budget would be better served by a general guidebook with a more detailed maps such as Jeff Bradley’s Tennessee Handbook in the Moon Travel Handbooks series.

Schimmenti , Mark. and Christine Kreyling. The Plan of Nashville: Avenues to a GreatCity. Nashville: VanderbiltUniversity Press, 2005. 250 pages.  ISBN: 0826514596.

“The Plan of Nashville is a vision,” former Nashville mayor Bill Purcell begins his preface to this work. This book is ultimately the vision of a working, active organization, the Nashville Civic Design Center (NSDC). A well-founded and cogent process is documented in this volume. The book is organized according to the major aspects, enumerated as the Ten Principles, under consideration to achieve this vision.

Nashville is described in terms of its context in the region, the city’s downtown, and the neighborhoods. Following this thorough exploration of the parts and the whole, is how the Plan will translate from ideas into reality, and who will be responsible for the planning and implementation.  The Plan is the written record for the NSDC and the illustrated explication of the community-based fifty year plan, it is their vision and mission to realize together with the people who live and work in the city.

Given the authors’ involved and actively engaged participation in the Plan, Mark Schimmenti and Christine Kreyling are are among the most qualified persons to elucidate the principles, the plan, the process and the future. Mark Schimmenti is the former director of the Nashville Civic Design Center and currently professor of architecture at UTK. Christine Kreyling is a Nashville-based free lance writer who writes on architectural topics, has authored or co-authored several books on the subject and is the architecture and planning critic at the Nashville Scene.

The book is abundantly illustrated with photographs, maps and plans. It is exemplary in terms of quality of the publication, color and layout. The bibliographic notes and bibliography supporting the text are resources themselves.  Intended audience would primarily be Nashville-centric, those with a vested interest in the present and future development of the metropolitan city,  This book is most suitable in the reference department in civic / urban planning libraries, Nashville and Nashville-area public, academic, and special libraries.

Timberlake, Henry. The Memoirs of Lieutenant Henry Timberlake: The Story of a Soldier, Adventurer, and Emissary to the Cherokees, 1756-1765. Edited by Duane King. Cherokee, NC, Museum of the Cherokee Indian Press, 2007. 216 pages  ISBN:  0807831263.

This edition of The Memoirs of Henry Timberlake has included in it additional illustrations that were unavailable in the 1948 printing and additional information that has come to light because of archaeological fieldwork in the 1970s sponsored by the University of Tennessee. There are two appendices, extensive end notes, a bibliography and index. The book has been reprinted as an important contribution to the understanding of the life of the Cherokee and their international relations in the late 1700s.

Toward the end of the French and Indian war the Cherokee had agreed to resume peaceful relations with the British government. As an additional guarantee the Cherokee demanded an officer return to their lands with them as a hostage against treachery. Henry Timberlake volunteered for the duty. His adventures, beginning in the Cherokee country from December, 1761 to March, 1762 and continuing during his return to England with some tribal leaders are the heart of the memoir. He briefly sketches his early life and beginning military career as a preface to these events. The work was penned while Timberlake was in England in 1765 serving a sentence in debtors prison where he died before he was able to realize any profit from its publication.

The memoirs are very readable. The detailed end notes cover any reference that modern readers might be unfamiliar with and the illustrations are very helpful in recalling a bygone era.  Timberlake paints a very good picture of the era and the culture of the Cherokee. He makes every effort to accurately describe the day to day life of the Cherokee and their relations to one another as well as how outside contacts affect the tribe. Indeed his maps were so good they were relied upon by researchers from the University of Tennessee to locate the town of Chota, and the longhouses within the town before it was inundated by the Tellico Dam in the 1970s. In addition the reader gets a snapshot of conditions in England during this period and attitudes toward the native people in America. Timberlake took a chance, spending his own money to transport several Cherokees to England for an audience with the government. The government refusal to reimburse him caused him to default on his debts and he was imprisoned. The memoirs resulted as an attempt to make money to pay for his release. This work should prove useful to any student of the history of early America and especially those interested in the Cherokee Nation.

Twain, Mark. Mark Twain’s Civil War. Ed. David Rachels. Lexington : University Press of Kentucky , 2007. ISBN-10: 0813124743, ISBN-13: 978-08131-24742.

As evidenced by the title of this book, Mark Twain’s Civil War is a collection of short stories and excerpts which centers on the influence and interpretation of the Civil War in Mark Twain’s life and writings. This volume of Civil War literature attempts to collect a variety of fiction and non-fiction about Twain’s Civil War experiences, his attitudes toward the war, and his opinion of slavery. 

The editor of this volume, David Rachels, is Associate Professor of English at the Virginia Military Institute. Professor Rachels, Ph.D., University of Illinois, is editor and coeditor of several books with research and teaching interests in American humor and the literature of war. Rachles has two major topics for this book’s introduction a scholarly overview to the complex milieu surrounding Twain’s enlistment and militia experiences and a superb in-depth literary analysis of Twain’s Civil War writing. All of these pieces have previously been published elsewhere, and the original sources are cited in the notes. One of the strengths of this collection is that it pulls all these pieces together into one volume. 

The book is divided into two sections - non-fiction and fiction. However, when it comes to Twain’s military experiences, the editor states that this distinction is fuzzy and often unreliable. In addition to the non-fiction written by Twain, the first section also contains a chapter from Albert Bigelow Paine’s biography of Twain and an excerpt from Absalom Grimes memoir about serving with Twain in the Missouri Militia. The fiction section exhibits Twain’s timeless humor along with his themes of anti-romanticism, satire of militarism, and the tragedy of slavery. This collection contains no index, but each selection is prefaced by an editorial insertion that provides background for each selection.  Many of the wonderful, original illustrations are presented along with each story or excerpt.

The intended audience for this work would be readers looking for Civil War literature or those seeking scholarship into life and writings of Mark Twain.  The book is easily readable to young adults and above, and the introduction is not overly technical. Both scholars and the general public will find this volume entertaining and instructive.

The introduction to Mark Twain’s Civil War is a splendid contribution to the scholarly analysis of Mark Twain’s life and writings. Additionally, this volume brings together in one volume various related writings about Mark Twain and the Civil War. If any limitation for this collection exists, it is that it may not contain all of Twain’s Civil War writings, but not all scholars agree on what constitutes Civil War literature. However, the editor offers a rationale for his choices in the book’s introduction.

This book should have wide appeal and is strongly recommended for all academic, school, and public libraries collecting in the area of Civil War literature or building a comprehensive collection of Mark Twain’s writings.
