We wouldn't have the Waffle House if it hadn't been for Joe W. Rogers, Sr. of Jackson, Tennessee. The music world wouldn't be the same without Carl Perkins, Eddy Arnold and \"Sonny Boy\" Williamson. These true characters laughed, cried, went to war or into business and shaped the history of West Tennessee, and in some instances, the nation and the world.\u003cbr\u003e Take a journey through time in the pages of \"Soldiers, Saints and Sinners: Stories of Long Ago.\" Our history is all around us if only we look. You'll come away with something new to think about, and perhaps you'll reach the last page saying, \"Well, I never knew that \"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Harbert Alexander\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0996345833\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780996345835\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hillhelen Group LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/02\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Harbert Alexander","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44058216202495,"sku":"9780996345835","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4297508e-1e43-48a3-9190-66df66641814.jpg?v=1685051304","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/soldiers-saints-sinners-harbert-alexander-9780996345835","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
