Much more than a simple portrait of a pioneer family, this chronicle is actually a history of Bristol from a different perspective. It would be virtually impossible to write a complete history of this city without including a record of the pioneer King family. Likewise, it would be very difficult to write of this family and not become involved in general Bristol history.

The story of a very powerful family,
By
This review is from: The Book of Kings: The King Family's Contribution to the History of Bristol, Tennessee/Virginia (Hardcover)
The Book of Kings is a must read if you're from Bristol. VN "Bud" Phillips brings the King family to life in such a way that I find myself thinking about different situations many months after reading the book. Such as when Rev. King would take the slave children up on the hill to pick strawberries on a summer afternoon or the grief that was felt throughout the whole family when one on the slave children accidentally drown. I almost felt I was on the banks of Beaver Creek with them. I'll read this book again and again.
