About this Item

Early days in Rutherford County, in the heart of Middle Tennessee, are recalled in this spiral bound booklet compiled from excerpts from: History of Tennessee, originally published in 1886 by Goodspeed Publishing Co., Counties of Tennessee by Austin P. Foster (1923), and Tennessee, a Guide to the State, a product of the Federal Writer's Project of the WPA in 1939. The 98-page booklet has the print enlarged for easier reading. A vinyl sheet has been added to protect the front cover. Among the subjects included are: Geography, including the soil, native vegetation, the Stone River and other waterways, agriculture, etc.; Samuel Wilson, Col. Robert Weakley, Robert Bedford, Capt. Richard Ransom, William Nash and other early settlers; early life in the county; Militia companies before the Civil War; formation of the county and of the first county seat, Jefferson; Murfreesboro, and how it became the county seat; county buildings and officials; the whipping post; the Wilkerson Cross Roads Pike and other roads; the Rutherford County Medical Society; county fair; Railroads; various courts, grand juries, trials and punishments; Felix Grundy, a noted criminal lawyer; Civil War period, including the 18th Regiment raised largely by Gen. J.B. Palmer of Murfreesboro and the 20th Tennessee Regiment, known as Battle's regiment; the Battle of Murfreesboro; city officials; the Washington Cotton Factory and other businesses; banks; newspapers; various lodges; the villages of Milton, Eagleville, Readyville, La Vegne, Salem, and Stewartsboro; Female County Academy and Union University; schools and churches; clergymen, including Alexander Campbell; the hangman's rope, a fine of one cent and other items of interest. Besides the names mentioned in the first part of the booklet, there are a number of biographies.
