Dalla quarta di copertina:

Tennessee has been home to Indian tribes, Civil War heroes, United States presidents, rock 'n' roll superstars, suffragists, and frontier settlers and was the setting of one of the most famous trials of the last century. It Happened in Tennessee takes readers on a rollicking, behind-the-scenes look at some of the characters and episodes from the Volunteer State's past.Here you'll read about the lost state of Franklin, the mysterious death of famed explorer Meriwether Lewis, the creation of the Cherokee alphabet, and an actress turned Union spy. You'll also learn about the nation's first antislavery newspaper, the Cherokee Trail of Tears, and the worst maritime tragedy in U.S. history.Many of the people and events from Tennessee's past are well known, but many are not. Do you know that Tennessee once suffered an earthquake that measured more than 8.0 on the Richter scale? Or why Tennessee is nicknamed the Volunteer State? And what's the story behind the real-life Jack Daniels?In an easy-to-read style that's entertaining and informative, author Susan Sawyer recounts some of the most captivating moments from Tennessee's history. (6 x 9, 128 pages)
