Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early History of Nashville Geography and history cannot be entirely separated. As this dependence one upon the other is evident, is it not best to begin them together? Will not this early connection of the two make the study clearer to the child in after years? And, as all teachers know, when introducing any sub j ect, we begin with an object or a thought which is familiar to the children; so it follows that the geography and history of the land over which the little child walks every day, of the hills, valleys and streams which he sees from his own window, is the proper introduction to the geography and history of the world. Another and more important thought presents itself. The true patriot must first be true to his own home. So by fostering, in the right way, a love for home, we are strength ehing a broad patriotism. The children of the British Isles have for hundreds of years learned first at their mother's knee of heroic deeds done at their own doors. After that they have learned their country's history. This has given them a respect for their own people and a belief in themselves which has helped to make their nation a world force. We forget this. In our own history stories we tell our children of great things that occurred in other countries; or, if within the limits of our own country, a thousand miles, or perhaps more, from Nashville. But why neglect our own? We, too, have much to tell that is important to our national history. Even if we did not, it were still pedagogically correct to begin at home.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early History of Middle Tennessee The history of Tennessee, and especially that of our own section of the State, was long sadly neglected, and it is now with the greatest difficulty that many of the isolated facts of tradition may be woven into a continuous thread of history. The failure of preceding generations to gather and record, first-handed, many of the stirring events of early times in the Cumberland Valley from those who participated in them, has increased the task of the historical writer of to-day. Only one other attempt has been made to write a history of Middle Tennessee and that was by Col. A. W. Putnam, of Nashville, in 1859. From this work I have gathered much valuable information as well as from Carr's Early Times, the histories of the State written by Judge Haywood, Dr. Ramsey, Mr. Phelan, Prof. McGee, Garrett and Goodpasture, and others. I am also indebted to Imlay's Historical Works, Roosevelt's Winning of the West, and Washington Irving's account of Spanish travels. Much of the latter-day traditions extant in both Sumner and Davidson Counties has been collected and harmonized and to the many sources from which this has been gathered I acknowledge myself indebted. Especially do I desire to express thanks to Dr. J. H. McNeilly, of Nashville, Dr. R. V. Foster, of Lebanon, and Col. Ruben T. Durrett, of Louisville, for the courtesies and help extended and many favors shown. Without the aid of these and of others who might be mentioned I should have fallen far short of the historical accuracy which I believe to be a characteristic of the forthcoming work: For my own gratification as well as for that of coming generations, I have gathered the facts presented from every available source, and now give them to the public, trusting that they may both instruct and entertain.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Richard Henderson: The Authorship of the Cumberland Compact and the Founding of Nashville From these, and other pre-emptions doubtless known to him, James Robertson suspected that the French Lick lay within the bounds of Virginia. In particular, the fact of Clark's purchase of the three thousand acres, including the French Lick, a purchase doubtless effected through the in strumentality of Col. Arthur Campbell, was well known at Watauga and along the border. Although the inducements held out to him by the Transylvania Company were greater than those held out by the State of North Carolina, Robert son resolved to remain on the safe side by attempting to secure from George Rogers Clark as owner, holding the title under the Virginia claim, cabin rights to the pre-emptions on the Cumberland at the French Lick.19 Certain it is that.

Download or read book Classical Nashville written by Christine Kreyling and published by Vanderbilt University Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the occasion of Tennessee's Bicentennial, four distinguished authors offer new insights and a broader appreciation of the classical influences that have shaped the architectural, cultural, and educational history of its capital city. Nashville has been many things: frontier town, Civil War battleground, New South mecca, and Music City, U.S.A. It is headquarters for several religious denominations, and also the home of some of the largest insurance, healthcare, and publishing concerns in the country. Located culturally as well as geographically between North and South, East and West, Nashville is centered in a web of often-competing contradictions. One binding image of civic identity, however, has been consistent through all of Nashville's history: the classical Greek and Roman ideals of education, art, and community participation that early on led to the city's sobriquet, "Athens of the West," and eventually, with the settling of the territory beyond the Mississippi River, the "Athens of the South." Illustrated with nearly a hundred archival and contemporary photographs, Classical Nashville shows how Nashville earned that appellation through its adoption of classical metaphors in several areas: its educational and literary history, from the first academies through the establishment of the Fugitive movement at Vanderbilt; the classicism of the city's public architecture, including its Capitol and legislative buildings; the evolution of neoclassicism in homes and private buildings; and the history and current state of the Parthenon, the ultimate symbol of classical Nashville, replete with the awe-inspiring 42-foot statue of Athena by sculptor Alan LeQuire. Perhaps Nashville author John Egerton best captures the essence of this modern city with its solid roots in the past. He places Nashville "somewhere between the 'Athens of the West' and 'Music City, U.S.A.,' between the grime of a railroad town and the glitz of Opryland, between Robert Penn Warren and Robert Altman." Nashville's classical identifications have always been forward-looking, rather than antiquarian: ambitious, democratic, entrepreneurial, and culturally substantive. Classical Nashville celebrates the continuation of classical ideals in present-day Nashville, ideals that serve not as monuments to a lost past, but as sources of energy, creativity, and imagination for the future of a city.
