This book was released on 2013-06-21 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beersheba Springs, Tennessee has a population of about 500 but holds a special place in the hearts of thousands. There are families that have been here since the first days of settlement in the 1830s and '40s; and, even though their descendants have spread across the nation, Beersheba retains a hold on their hearts. Around a core of antebellum summer cottages, another group of families has found rest and refreshment here for generations and brought scores and scores of guests. And new families and new homes have gradually been added. The Hotel – United Methodist Assembly stands at the center of the community and attracts many people to the mountain who have often formed a deep attachment to it. In recent years, Beersheba has become an entrance to the Savage Gulf State Natural Area. We like to think of Beersheba as an especially friendly place. This book is a sort of “welcome center,” an invitation to visitors to participate in our lives, to experience our nature, to sing our songs, to look at our pictures, and to enjoy our stories and poetry. It recounts the storiies of some fifty homes and the families connected with them. If you are an old Beersheba expert but need a little reminder of who's who at the various cottages, here is your guide. Do you want to know where the springs are? Here is your map. Whether you are spending a day or a lifetime in Beersheba Springs, we hope you will find pleasure, information, and life in these pages. The general history of Beersheba, starting with its geological evolution and what is known of American indian culture in the area, on through the discovery of the springs and development of the resort in the 19th century is recounted in Volume I of this history. That volume also covers in detail the story of the Hotel and the United Methodist Assembly, as well as stores and shops. Volume II concentrates on families and homes. Volume III reprints some classic articles and stories on Beersheba.

Download or read book Beersheba Springs, a History: Volume I, General History, the Hotel-Assembly written by Clopper Almon and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-06-23 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A mineral spring on an Indian trace was discovered in 1833 by Beersheba Cain, an adventurous lady from McMinnville. It soon became the focal point of a 19th-century summer resort attracting visitors and cottage owners not only from Middle Tennessee but from as far away as Natchez. James K. Polk held a political rally here in 1840, but his wife could not come because the roads were too muddy. Key meetings in the development of the University of the South at Sewanee took place here. The Civil War destroyed the fortunes of most of the early cottage owners, but the buildings themselves, including the grand hotel, miraculously survived. More remarkably, something of the serenity of a by-gone age has survived, an age where the chance to drink water tasting of iron and to breathe mountain air was sufficient attraction for a summer resort. Fortunately, the Tennessee Conference of the Methodist Church acquired the old hotel in 1941 and has used it to bring thousands of people to experience the unusual peace which pervades Beersheba. A network of families and friendships extending over generations adds to the special qualities of the place. The nearby Savage Gulf State Natural Area provides opportunities for swimming in mountain streams and walking in deep woods on trails both new and ancient. This book gives a concise history of Beersheba from ancient geological ages, through the times of the American Indians, the early settlement, the building of the resort, the Civil War, a blossoming in the late 19th century, and on through the community of today. It is especially intended for visitors at the Assembly, and includes a detailed history of its development. Two nearby shops in historic homes and the Store, where everybody meets, are presented. A second volume covers families and homes; the third volume, Classics, has stories that need no updating.

Download or read book Beersheba Springs, a History: Vol. III Classics written by Clopper Almon and published by . This book was released on 2013-06-25 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The editors of the first edition of Beersheba Springs, A History found a number of splendid essays on Beersheba in days of old. Most of these had to be omitted from Volumes I and II of the 2010 updated edition to make room for new, previously unpublished material. But many of those omitted stories make splendid reading. They have been gathered into this third volume, Classics. Likewise, a number of vivid old photographs not used in the previous volumes enliven the pages of this one. A number of other pieces have been added. In the first place, there is Blanche Spurlock's Bentley's Beersheba Springs and The Chickamauga Trace from about 1928, which has been a major, indispensable source for all subsequent histories of Beersheba. It is reprinted here in full. There is a short essay on Beersheba in the Bible and, its meaning in Hebrew. Careful search of Nashville and McMinnville newspapers has yielded a series of advertisements and testimonials that vividly trace the evolution of the resort. Best of all, perhaps, is the comic piece, "A Run to Beersheba," whose unhappy author, with Mark-Twain-like humor, recounts his illness and recovery - that nearly ruins the Hotel's finances. He also tells of his terrifying visit to the Indian Post Office under Stone Door. "Judgment Day in Tarlton" concludes the volume on an eschatological note.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With some 6,000 entries, A Bibliography of Tennessee History will prove to be an invaluable resource for anyone--students, historians, librarians, genealogists--engaged in researching Tennessee's rich and colorful past. A sequel to Sam B. Smith's invaluable 1973 work, Tennessee History: A Bibliography, this book follows a similar format and includes published books and essays, as well as many unpublished theses and dissertations, that have become available during the intervening years. The volume begins with sections on Reference, Natural History, and Native Americans. Its divisions then follow the major periods of the state's history: Before Statehood, State Development, Civil War, Late Nineteenth Century, Early Twentieth Century, and Late Twentieth Century. Sections on Literature and County Histories round out the book. Included is a helpful subject index that points the reader to particular persons, places, incidents, or topics. Substantial sections in this index highlight women's history and African American history, two areas in which scholarship has proliferated during the past two decades. The history of entertainment in Tennessee is also well represented in this volume, including, for example, hundreds of citations for writings about Elvis Presley and for works that treat Nashville and Memphis as major show business centers. The Literature section, meanwhile, includes citations for fiction and poetry relating to Tennessee history as well as for critical works about Tennessee writers. Throughout, the editors have strived to achieve a balance between comprehensive coverage and the need to be selective. The result is a volume that will benefit researchers for years to come. The Editors: W. Calvin Dickinson is professor of history at Tennessee Technological University. Eloise R. Hitchcock is head reference librarian at the University of the South.

Download or read book The Historic Cumberland Plateau written by Russ Manning and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining historical narrative with the specifics of a guidebook, The Historic Cumberland Plateau is an indispensable aid for visiting and experiencing an area rich in natural wonders and scenic beauty. First published in 1992, the book has now been extensively revised to include the latest information about points of interest and cultural events on the Cumberland Plateau. A land known for its great caves, cascading waterfalls, natural arches, and isolated river canyons, the Plateau stretches from northeast to southwest, encompassing parts of Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia. Within its geographic boundaries are many protected areas, including the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park, the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area, and the Obed National Wild and Scenic River. The Plateau also possesses a unique history and cultural heritage. Inhabited first by Native Americans, then by pioneers migrating westward, the Plateau contains many sites that attest to its rich history. As different groups passed through, some chose to settle permanently, resulting in a diverse cultural heritage celebrated today in many regional events. Each chapter of this book, focusing on a specific area on the Plateau, is filled with fascinating historical facts and anecdotes, as well as practical information about services and accommodations, events, and directions to natural wonders, hiking trails, and historic sites. The Author: Russ Manning is an award-winning freelance writer and author of several outdoor guidebooks. His articles on the outdoors and conservation have been published in Outside, Blue Ridge Country, Walking Magazine, Appalachia, Environment, Sierra, Environmental Ethics, and The Tennessee Conservationist.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "C. Brenden Martin examines tourism in the context of the transformation of transportation networks, urban and rural community development, and the changing role of government in regulating tourism. Martin illustrates how tourism represents a double-edged sword, cutting both ways in its impact on the region. It is a transformative force that has accelerated the modernization of the Mountain South in many ways, and yet tourism has also provided the main economic rationale for the region's cultural, historical, and environmental preservation movements."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book A Troublesome Commerce written by Robert H. Gudmestad and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2003-11-07 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert H. Gudmestad provides an in-depth examination of the growth and development of the interstate slave trade during the early nineteenth century, using the business as a means to explore economic change, the culture of honor, master-slave relationships, and the justification of slavery in the antebellum South. Gudmestad demonstrates how southerners, faced with the incongruity of maintaining their paternalistic beliefs about slavery even while capitalistically exploiting their slaves, coped by disassociating themselves from the brutality and greed of the slave trade and shifting responsibility for slavery’s realities to the speculators. In tracing the trans- formation of a troublesome commerce into a southern scapegoat, this pro- vocative work proves the interstate slave trade to be vital to the making—and understanding—of the paradoxical antebellum South.
