Torment in the Knobs

This is a tale of personal tragedy, played out on the dynamic stage of East Tennessee in the 19th Century. Local and State politics, the Cherokee Removal to Oklahoma (the Trail of Tears), the War Between the States, and development of the railroads are all described from a very personal perspective in Monroe County and McMinn County, Tennessee. Originally published in 1976, this 2010 edition is enhanced by a comprehensive Index.
