Flags of Tennessee

By Devereaux D. Cannon Jr.

The three stars on the Tennessee flag
represent the three cultural divisions of the state-the Grand
Divisions -East, Middle, and West Tennessee. Though culturally distinct,
the three Tennessees share a common history of exploitation of colonial lands
by Spanish, French, and British claims. For many years Tennessee was under the
dominion of these flags.
With full-color illustrations, Flags of Tennessee examines the
many flags that have flown over the state, including the Spanish Castile and
Leon, the French fleur-de-lis, and the British Union Jack, as well as the flags
of the United States. Also included are county flags, city flags, battle flags,
and a detailed section on the flags of the Indian tribes who lived throughout
the state. Each flag is accompanied by text describing its significance,
history, and development. It is a perfect introduction to the fascinating
history of the Volunteer State for readers eight and older.
Devereaux Cannon lives in Nashville, Tennessee. He is also the author of
The Flags of the Confederacy, The Flags of the
Union, and The Wit and Wisdom of Robert E. Lee, all
published by Pelican.
