This book is John R. Finger's contribution to Indiana University Press's "History of the Trans-Appalachian Frontier" series edited by Walter Nugent and Malcolm Rohrbough. Finger's volume on Tennessee, like those on Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, and Wisconsin, is a synthetic overview of the frontier era in one state. Although Finger is a recognized scholar of Cherokee history, which allows him to include extensive material on Native Americans, this book contains little that is new to scholars of Appalachia or the trans-Appalachian West. The absence of footnotes or endnotes make it obvious that the targeted audiences are general readers or students in courses studying Tennessee state history. |
