It Happened in the Old South

By James A. Crutchfield

This book tells thirty stories of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Kentucky--from early European exploration to the end of the Civil War. Readers will be introduced to well-known characters, little-known heroes, and events that changed history--from "How 'Old Glory' Got Its Name" in Tennessee and "The Court-Martial of Daniel Boone" in Kentucky to "The Invention of the Cotton Gin" in Georgia and "The Capture of Aaron Burr" in Mississippi.
