Hidden History of Nashville (TN) Book

These are newspaper columns about various buildings and events in Nashville history, giving one an idea of some of the peculiarities of the past. They were based on questions from readers, and it was helpful to learn more about Nashville's past. Obviously it doesn't have the nostalgia element for me that a similar series of columns about Chicago area communities would have. I liked the fact that I could read a couple columns and walk away without losing the flow of the narrative. At some point, I need to read a more serious history of Nashville. I was also glad to find that there was at least one column acknowledging the role of slavery in Nashville's past. I wish that there had been more.
