Oh, yes! And I knew that too, from when I read Michener's "Texas" (an excellent book!), but I had forgotten about it.
I love it that so many of you have added more information to the thread on Tennessee. Some of what I knew about the state I had forgotten, and some of what I remembered, I couldn't include because there just wasn't enough room. I have had this problem with all the states I have done. Too much to say and not enough space.
So, I will continue to depend upon the Finest vistors to fill in the blanks.......it's more fun that way anyway. I like the group participation....and we all learn something. What could be better than that? ;-)
