Dropped Stitches in Tennessee History

release date: Jan 01, 1991
Dropped Stitches in Tennessee History
In addition to the area’s early history learned from his mother, much of the author's information in this comprehensive book was obtained by visiting and conversing with older residents in East Tennessee and Western North Carolina. Having possession of the very earliest court records made in Jonesborough (1778–1800), the author made original investigations of the facts and the men who constituted the court. He quotes extensively from these old records kept in Washington County, noting that it was the first county established and organized in the state and included for quite a time all of the early settlements in what has been commonly known as “upper East Tennessee.” Along with stories about Jackson and others well known in Tennessee’s early history, numerous other names—such as Hump Gibson and the Widow Dyckes—are found in the old court records.

A Guide to Directing Small Charity Road Races
This guide offers advice to inexperienced race directors who wish to host a small 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, or Marathon to benefit a charitable organization. The advice contained within is based on my own experience. I ran a lot of races before I ever bit the bullet and directed my own. I thought I knew plenty to make a great race. But I quickly learned just how tough a race director's job is. Hopefully, my experience will help you avoid some mistakes, think of some things you might not have, and host a great race that your runners want to race every year.
