Describing historical markers in East Tennessee, Brown, who writes for the Knoxville News Sentinel, presents stories behind them--many published in different versions in the newspaper. Organized by county, the stories, about topics such as Cherokee Indians, wars, David Crockett, Andrew Johnson, and Pigeon Forge, are mostly based on information from sources at the Calvin McClung Historical Collection at the East Tennessee History Center in Knoxville. Each chapter covers several markers, how to get to them, and sometimes a list of others not detailed in the book. Indexes are divided by proper names and markers.
