Synopsis

Tennessee -- A Political History is a richly detailed history of the political events and personalities that have shaped the Volunteer State. It examines the divergent evolution of politics in Tennessee's three geographical divisions -- East, Middle, and West -- in an easily accessible style.Arranged chronologically, the book focuses on Tennessee's campaigns and elections, and the politicians who lived them: the state's three presidents -- Andrew Jackson, James Knox Polk, and Andrew Johnson -- and the legendary figures who have become integral to the country's folklore, such as David Crockett, Sam Houston, and Sgt. Alvin York. Also included are the lesser known but equally colorful personalities who make politics so fascinating and unpredictable.
