Covering Bristol's formative years, this is the story of people and events surrounding the rise of this city between two states—the town that Joseph R. Anderson, its founder, wanted to call "Paradise." The book reveals a cross section of Bristol's ancestry, ranging from the noble and well-known to the humble and obscure. Containing a myriad of facts that will be of wide local interest, the narrative offers insight into the human condition as it existed during the last century. Enhanced with numerous old photographs, this carefully researched volume is a definitive reference on Bristol.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Just a bit prejudiced,
By Craig Caldwell (Douglasville, Ga.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bristol Tennessee/Virginia: A History-1852-1900 (Hardcover)
I may be a bit prejiduced because this book was actually found in my grandmothers house, signed by the author. My grandmother had contributed help and info and pics to the author (as had my great grandmother) Both grew up in Bristol, as did my fathers entire family. Bud Phillips really grew to love the area and has truly captured so much history, the good and the bad and the sometimes funny, and color of the region. It (the book) may not interest someone from another area but the thing to remember is every area has a colorful history like Bristol, and after reading this book someone may want to know the history of their area, maybe in the process even spawning some new researchers and authors. Give it a try, as well as his other books......you may be quite pleasantly surprised
