Book excerpt: Colonial Americans, influenced by the journals and reports of eighteenth century explorers and pioneers, looked to the lands west of the Appalachian Mountains and south of the Ohio River as a rich horizon for expansion. Sumner County - cradle of Middle Tennessee's settlement and history - was founded by pioneer legendary long hunters, patriots, military leaders, and statesmen and served as the gateway for Tennessee's significant role in a young country's yearning for westward expansion. They came into this wild and often hostile land with a dream, armed with courage and the written promise of land for service in the recent war for independence tucked into their saddlebags. These brave Americans forged a new community, which would become Sumner County, and the heart of a new state called "Tennassee." During the ensuing century, the county would engender monumental milestones of individual courage and industry, and the emergence of national political and military giants. The most accessible and enduring accounts of Sumner County's heritage are evidenced today in the surviving homes and sites that witnessed and were, in many instances, integral participants in this history. HISTORIC SUMNER COUNTY is a commemorative portrait of these historic sites and a tribute to today's organizations and citizen stewards dedicated to their preservation for future generations.

Download or read book African-American Life in Sumner County written by Velma Howell Brinkley and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2012-09-18 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early African Americans in Sumner County, both slaves and free, left a legacy not only of beautiful brick buildings and sturdy stone fences, but also a social history as rich and varied as the many tribes they represented. This exciting book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the immeasurable contributions, undeniable services, and the devotion of black Americans to the evolution of Sumner County's communities. Many of the sienna-hued photographs and Civil War-era tintypes presented here were taken when folks wore their Sunday best and didn't smile for the camera. These images, many never before published, capture everything from a "creek baptism" and bonnet worn by a local slave, to views of families and schoolchildren. The volume covers most of the early settlements in Sumner County where African Americans largely resided, from Rockland and Avondale to Scattersville, Parker's Chapel, and Gallatin.

Cisco and published by Southern Historical Press. This book was released on 2023-12-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By: Jay G. Cisco, Pub, 1909, reprinted 2023, 320 pages, Index, soft cover, ISBN #978-1-63914-160-9. Sumner County was created in 1786 from Davidson County. It was later divided to create the counties of Smith and Wilson. This book was the consolidation of a series of articles that the author had published in the Nashville American in 1907. These articles were revised and expanded for this book along with the addition of additional data that came from interview of many survivors of the original settlers of Sumner County. The first portion of this book is similar to other history books of the ear, covering such topics as early exploration of the county, local topography, territorial laws, officials, early landowners, and Sumner County in the participation in wars, particularly the Civil War. The bulk of this work focuses on Sumner County pioneers and their families in a series of genealogical and biographical sketches of the featured families of Bledsoe, Cage, and Douglass. The author also included mini biographical sketches on numerous other pioneers and their families including: Anderson, Barrow, Barry, Bate, Bell, Bertinatti, Blackmore, Belmont, Bowen, Bowie, Breckenridge, Campbell, Carmack, Carr, Cisco, Clark, Desha, Donaldson, Ellis, Fulton, Gaines, Garth, Guild, Gwin, Hall, Hallum, Hammond, Hatton, Head, Judd, Lauderdale, Lindsey, Malone, Mansker, Martin, McKendree, Morgan, Morris, Odom, Parker, Peyton, Pickett, Read, Rogan, Rogers, Rutherford, Sanders, Sharkey, Shelby, Scurry, Smith, Spencer, Trousdale, Vanderbilt, Walton, Weatherred, Williams, Wilson, Winchester, and Wynne.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first three quarters of the twentieth century, in the heart of our nation, there thrived a safe haven which nurtured great aspirations of thousands of African American youth and their families. “The Sumner Story” highlights the history of a segregated high school which became recognized for the stellar academic performance of its students. Highly qualified faculty who believed in the students’ ability to achieve prepared them for a world of competition, hard knocks, compromises and closed doors. The story also denotes and illuminates outstanding career successes of alumni. In a socially and economically segregated nation, black students who had a “Sumner-like” experience were very fortunate because their schools served as clear windows and powerful springboards to promising possibilities. In this regard, nine other segregated high schools are reviewed. Insights can be gained from this story on how to resolve the plight of low-performing schools in socially and economically disadvantaged communities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the homes of the first settlers in Middle Tennessee to Gallatin's public square and everywhere in between, there is not a more haunted county in America. The Winchesters' unique and architecturally impressive Cragfont had mysterious occurrences from its very beginnings in the late 1700s. Gallatin's public square, its courthouse, loft apartments and places of business have hauntings that seem to specifically point to restless spirits still unsettled from the oppressive days of Civil War occupation by a brutal commanding officer of the Union army. Even the modern subdivisions are not immune to the supernatural, hosting everything from flying cryptids to tormented spirit-remnants of the bloody conflict between settlers and Native Americans. Author Donna Lyn Hartley details the spooky side of Sumner County.

Download or read book Architecture of Middle Tennessee written by Thomas B. Brumbaugh and published by Vanderbilt University Press. This book was released on 2020-08-15 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1974, Architecture of Middle Tennessee quickly became a record of some of the region's most important and most endangered buildings. Based primarily upon photographs, measured drawings, and historical and architectural information assembled by the Historic American Buildings Survey of the National Park Service in 1970 and 1971, the book was conceived of as a record of buildings preservationists assumed would soon be lost. Remarkably, though, nearly half a century later, most of the buildings featured in the book are still standing. Vanderbilt staffers discovered a treasure trove of photos and diagrams from the HABS survey that did not make the original edition in the Press archives. This new, expanded edition contains all of the original text and images from the first volume, plus many of the forgotten archived materials collected by HABS in the 1970s. In her new introduction to this reissue, Aja Bain discusses why these buildings were saved and wonders about what lessons preservationists can learn now about how to preserve a wider swath of our shared history.
