Only In Tennessee: A Funny, Fact Filled Ride Through The Volunteer State (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798257562068)

Tennessee is not one thing. It never has been.

It is ancient mountains and Beale Street blues. It is hot chicken, MoonPies, ghost stories, hidden caves, whiskey made in dry counties, and a state so full of contradictions it somehow turned them into personality. It is the place where thirty thousand volunteers showed up when only three thousand were asked for, where the Mississippi once ran backward, and where the Bell Witch still has enough local respect that some folks won't say her name after dark.

Only In Tennessee is a fast, funny, fact-filled ride through the Volunteer State - fifty unforgettable facts, ten deeper stories, and enough strange history, local pride, and sharp Southern humor to keep you turning pages long after you meant to stop.

Whether you were born here, got here as fast as you could, or are just meeting Tennessee for the first time, this book will show you why no other state sounds, tastes, argues, sings, or remembers quite like this one.
