(Chapel Hill: The University of North Carolina Press, 1932).

FIRST EDITION. The study of a single state, not with an eye to its politics but concentrating on its development as a community, thus throwing new light up the growth of American democracy. Tennessee offered the author unique advantages. It was the first state to undergo the territiorial status. Its boundaries include the earliest organized transmontane settlements. And these settlements were planted under striking conditions and under famuous leaders. The frontier history of no western state is richer or more significant than that of Tennessee. Item #34614
