Book excerpt: The PEOPLE'S HOSPITAL: A History of Cookeville Regional Medical Center, 1950-2010. From dramatic life-saving medical advances to the rise of health care as one of the nation's largest industries, the transformation in medicine over the past 60 years has been nothing short of a revolution. How the people of Cookeville, Tennessee, helped their local hospital navigate the often-stormy political and financial waters of change in health care is a story as full of intrigue, suspense, heartache and joy as the history of any human endeavor. The People's Hospital: A History of Cookeville Regional Medical Center, 1950-2010 traces the origins of Cookeville's public hospital, which began as a 15-bed private clinic built by a local surgeon just off the town square in 1921, to its status as regional referral medical center 60 years later. Bought by the city in 1927, the hospital was supervised by head nurses until 1950, when the city built its replacement on the west side of town. Five physicians and 33 nurses and staff members cared for the patients admitted to the new hospital in its first year; by 2010, the staff had grown to 1,800, with more than 140 active physicians.Telling the story of a hospital is a rare form of local history, and yet hospitals play a huge role in the life of any community. That's especially true when the hospital is public, because its origins and fate are inextricably tied to the well-being of the town or county that owns it. The People's Hospital illustrates how the business of saving lives transformed a modest public hospital into a regional medical center, becoming an investment for the well-being and prosperity of the people who own it.

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History: A Bibliography, this book follows a similar format and includes published books and essays, as well as many unpublished theses and dissertations, that have become available during the intervening years.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.
