{"product_id":"more-tales-of-tennessee-9780882894232","title":"More Tales of Tennessee","description":"Once again Louise Littleton Davis has produced from her store of knowledge and understanding of Tennessee history a collection of engrossing stories about the people and events that went into the making of that great state. As in her earlier \"Frontier Tales of Tennessee\", this book spans two centuries, from pre-Revolutionary days into the 1800s. \u003cp\u003eThe reader will now meet many more of early Tennessee's colorful characters, often in unexpected places. Pious and profane, noble and notorious, all of these historical figures emerge as real men and women who worked, fought, and prayed a young state into being. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccounts of incredible land deals dramatize the tragedy of American Indians pushed west by the white man's greed. Tribute is paid to John Ross, most notable of all Cherokee chiefs, whose lifelong struggle for the rights of the Indians ended with the infamous \"Trail of Tears\", a death march for many of the 17,000 Cherokees forced by U.S. Army troops to walk from Tennessee to Oklahoma. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrontier criminal justice, shocking by today's standards, reveals a rugged society that considered horse thievery worse than murder and administered punishment accordingly. The strict, often harsh, religious structure that ruled frontier communities is reflected in accounts of church trials concerning many matters now handled by civil courts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Louise Littleton Davis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pelican Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/19\/1989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.42h x 5.47w x 0.49d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780882894232\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDavis, Louise:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - An award-winning writer of historical features for the Nashville Tennessean for more than 20 years, Louise Littleton Davis is a former vice-president of the Tennessee Historical Society and currently serves on the board of editorial advisers of the Tennessean Historical Quarterly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pelican Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40242141364339,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":16.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_f30bbeac-4b5b-46bd-b929-153a30124b51.jpg?v=1657201335","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/more-tales-of-tennessee-9780882894232","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
