Book excerpt: This fabulous work is a county-by-county guide to the genealogical records and resources at the Tennessee State Library and Archives in Nashville. Based largely on the Tennessee county records microfilmed by the LDS Genealogical Library, it is an inventory of extant county records and their dates of coverage. For each county the following data is given: formation, county seat, names and addresses of libraries and genealogical societies, published records (alphabetical by author), W.P.A. typescript records, microfilmed records (LDS), manuscripts, and church records. The LDS microfilm covers almost every record that could be used by the genealogist, from vital records to optometry registers, from wills and inventories to school board minutes. There also is a comprehensive list of statewide reference works.

Download or read book A Bibliography of Tennessee History 1973 1996 written by W. Calvin Dickinson and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With some 6,000 entries, A Bibliography of Tennessee History will prove to be an invaluable resource for anyone--students, historians, librarians, genealogists--engaged in researching Tennessee's rich and colorful past. A sequel to Sam B. Smith's invaluable 1973 work, Tennessee History: A Bibliography, this book follows a similar format and includes published books and essays, as well as many unpublished theses and dissertations, that have become available during the intervening years. The volume begins with sections on Reference, Natural History, and Native Americans. Its divisions then follow the major periods of the state's history: Before Statehood, State Development, Civil War, Late Nineteenth Century, Early Twentieth Century, and Late Twentieth Century. Sections on Literature and County Histories round out the book. Included is a helpful subject index that points the reader to particular persons, places, incidents, or topics. Substantial sections in this index highlight women's history and African American history, two areas in which scholarship has proliferated during the past two decades. The history of entertainment in Tennessee is also well represented in this volume, including, for example, hundreds of citations for writings about Elvis Presley and for works that treat Nashville and Memphis as major show business centers. The Literature section, meanwhile, includes citations for fiction and poetry relating to Tennessee history as well as for critical works about Tennessee writers. Throughout, the editors have strived to achieve a balance between comprehensive coverage and the need to be selective. The result is a volume that will benefit researchers for years to come. The Editors: W. Calvin Dickinson is professor of history at Tennessee Technological University. Eloise R. Hitchcock is head reference librarian at the University of the South.
Download or read book The Alamo Delegate written by Albert Lytle Partee and published by DAS Author Services. This book was released on 2023-06-11 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Often the story of the Alamo is dominated by a handful of historical figures such as Crockett, Bowie, and Travis, among others. The Alamo Delegate gives the reader a glimpse into the life of a lesser known Texian volunteer, Jesse B. Badgett, and reminds us that the men who came to the defense of Texas in 1836 were normal men who answered the call of freedom, at great risk to themselves and their families. This book is a captivating story of an Alamo courier who helped change the course of Texas history. The Alamo Delegate is a refreshing new perspective on the struggle for Texian Independence." -- Kolby Lanham, Senior Researcher and Historian at the Alamo "Fascinating, untold history of one man’s almost accidental – but influential – footprint in the battle for Texas independence. 'Obscure' no longer, Badgett’s story serves as a bold reminder that one man can make a difference." -- KK Bruno, Author of Mischiefs and Miseries: A Novel of Jamestown 1607 "Combining painstaking research with vivid characterization, Partee’s biography demonstrates why we should remember Jesse B. Badgett, an original signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence. From his westward travels from North Carolina to his fateful encounter with history in San Antonio, Badgett’s 'Odyssey' is quintessentially American: a tale of struggle, circumstance, and politics. Highly recommended for readers wishing to know more about this fascinating period." -- Thomas E. Jenkins, Ph.D., Professor of Classical Studies, Trinity University As the new nation expanded westward in early 1813, a party of travelers set out from coastal North Carolina bound for a journey none could imagine: Jesse B. Badgett and his family would help settle the then-unchartered lands of the American South. But when destiny called, Jesse left his new life behind to deliver the last hope for his compatriots: a single letter. The only biography of the state’s most overlooked hero, The Alamo Delegate recounts the striking story of the expert rider who carried the fate of Texas in his saddlebag.
