Book Synopsis Knoxville, Tennessee by : William Bruce Wheeler
Download or read book Knoxville, Tennessee written by William Bruce Wheeler and published by Univ Tennessee Press. This book was released on 2020-03-06 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This third edition of Knoxville, Tennessee: A Mountain City in the New South includes a new preface and a valuable new chapter covering the period from the death of Cas Walker to the end of the administration of Madeline Rogero, Knoxville's first female mayor. Wheeler argues that, until very recently, like Jay Gatsby in The Great Gatsby (1925), Knoxvillians had fabricated for themselves a false history, portraying themselves and their city as the almost impotent victims of historical forces that they could neither alter nor control. The result of this myth has been a collective mentality of near-helplessness against the powerful forces of isolation, poverty, and even change itself. But Knoxville's past is far more complicated than that, for the city contained abundant material goods and human talent that could have been used to propel Knoxville into the ranks of the premier cities of the New South--if those assets had not slipped through the fingers of both the leaders and the populace. In all, Knoxville's history is the story of colliding forces--country and city, North and South, the poor and the elites as well as the story of colorful figures, including Perez Dickenson, Edward Sanford, George Dempster, Carlene Malone, Bill Haslam, and Madeline Rogero, among many, many more. While challenges related to public health, income inequality, racism, and the environment remain, Wheeler detects the possibility that the myth Knoxvillians have clung to may finally be fading. Downtown development by vibrant local entrepreneurs, a government more responsive than ever before, and an economy that endured a severe economic downturn only to turn out brighter than expected are all symptoms of a Knoxville that may be ready to take its place in the rising urbanism of twenty-first-century America.

Book Synopsis Knoxville, Tennessee by : Elena Irish Zimmerman
Download or read book Knoxville, Tennessee written by Elena Irish Zimmerman and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 1998-06-01 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the 1890s through the 1920s, the postcard was an extraordinarily popular means of communication, and many of the postcards produced during this "golden age" can today be considered works of art. Postcard photographers traveled the length and breadth of the nation snapping photographs of busy street scenes, documenting local landmarks, and assembling crowds of local children only too happy to pose for a picture. These images, printed as postcards and sold in general stores across the country, survive as telling reminders of an important era in America's history. This fascinating new history of Knoxville, Tennessee, showcases more than two hundred of the best vintage postcards available.

Samuel Doak, the Pioneer--Interest Manifested by Governor Blount--Blount College, Now the University of Tennessee--Knoxville Female Academy--Hampden Sidney Academy--Organization and Success of City Schools--University School--Knoxville College for Colored Students--Tennessee Medical College. THE first school established in Tennessee was named Martin Academy, founded under an act "for the promotion of learning in the county of Washington," which was passed by the general assembly of North Carolina in 1785. The founder and first president of this pioneer institution of learning was Rev. Samuel Doak, who is mentioned at some length in the chapter on religious history in this volume. He was a graduate of what was then known as Nassau Hall, now Princeton College. He was a member of the Franklin Assembly, was a man of great ability, force of character and learning, especially in the classics, as was usual with educated men in those days, and most men in the Presbyterian ministry, even in those days, were educated men. For many years his school was the only seat of classical learning west of the Alleghanies, and for a still longer period it was the principal seat of this kind of learning in that portion of the country. His school-house, a plain log building, which he erected on his farm, was near Jonesboro, a little west of the site afterward selected for Washington Academy, which became Washington College. It was near this academy that Rev. Mr. Doak established Salem Congregation, one of the first, if not the first, church in Tennessee. Upon being appointed governor of the new territory of Tennessee. William Blount immediately removed his family to his new field of activity, ...
Book Synopsis The Tennessee Theatre by : Jack Neely

Book excerpt: One of the most exuberant move palaces of the South, the Tennesse Theatre is a Jazz Age spectacle, a glimmer of a brifely extravagant era, a bold architectural celebration of an astonishing and suddenly popular new form of art. The motion picture changed the way Americans experienced their world,within its broad region, the Tennesseee became the superlative venue for that experiences. Despite its reputation as the finest, the most expensive, the theater with chandeliers and original art and antiques in its lobby, the Tennessee was also the largest, the busiest, and the most popular...Exclusiveness is one of the Tennessee's most effective illusions. After almost a century, the Tennessee is still obligatory on any trip to Knoxville, one of these sights you have to witness at least at once. Designed with dozens of shapes and countless colors to awe, it is distinct in appearance from every other theater in the world. It's a complex and fascinating artifact. But the Tennessee is also a practical edifice, a modern venue for classical music, opera, rock, jazz, bluegrass, and dozens of other genres that benefit from the old theater's excellent acoutiscs, praised in the national media for the quaility of its sound.
