Book excerpt: "The Cumberland River flows mainly through Tennessee, but it begins and ends in Kentucky. The surrounding area is one of the richest and most interesting--both physically and historically-- in the mid-American heartland. Today, its oldest and largest city, Nashville, bears the proud nickname "Athens of the South" and remains an important center of Southern culture, past and present.
