Hardeman County (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781531661717)

Hardeman County was named for Thomas Hardeman, a War of 1812 veteran and a pioneer of young America's frontier. He served as the county's first clerk and helped to shape the county that would bear his name. Hardeman and other early settlers created towns and settlements that eventually stretched over 650 square miles. They quickly established churches and schools and added businesses and farms to the fabric of the county. The nearby Hatchie River had long been a waterway used by the Chickasaw Indians, and many of the county's towns were settled on or near the waterway that led them to the Mississippi River. This river and the railroads became a prize to be won--and controlled--during the Civil War.
