A Long Path: The Search for a Tennessee Bicentennial Landmark [Hardcover]

Kem G. Hinton (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 1997

Though most Tennesseans first heard of the Tennessee Bicentennial Capitol Mall during the year of its celebration, the path of its creation is almost as old as the state itself. From details of the first settlement on the site of the Mall to descriptions of items still to come, Kem Hinton tells the story of this vital Nashville area through historical pictures and commentary.
