Description:Tennessee Country: In the Land of Their Fathers is a sojourn through the farms, homeplaces, and small towns of Tennessee. The photographs of native Tennessean and Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Robin Hood harmonize with the moving words of five noted Tennessee authors. Their collaboration celebrates the beauty of the land and character of the people in this place they call home. Come along with them and savor the moments: walk through a fifth-generation apple orchard clinging to the lofty cleft of a Unicoi County mountainside, smell cotton candy at the Cumberland County Fair, and marvel at the vastness of Lauderdale County cotton fields embraced by the mighty bends of the Mississippi River at dusk.From the ancient, mist-veiled mountains on her eastern edge to the undulating and powerful river that defines her western border, Tennessee is an heirloom quilt of family farms—a patchwork of dedicated people and fertile land. Native Americans farmed the rich bottomlands for centuries and gave names to the rivers that roll from the mountains like a song—among them the Hiwassee, Ocoee, Sequatchie, and our state's namesake, the Tanasie. As a young nation spread west in the late 18th century, European pioneers arrived, harnessed the rivers with gristmills and dams, and cleared innumerable acres of land for farms and homesteads. Two hundred years later, many of these farms continue in the stewardship of the original families.Tennessee Country: In the Land of Their Fathers is a celebration of the people and their love for that land. It is also a tribute to the indomitable spirit of the generations who came before to settle, coax a plentiful abundance from the fertile soil, and stamp their noble mark on Tennessee's rich traditions and history.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
