    1. [TN-Sevier] Leftovers from ETHS book sale
    2. Billie R. McNamara
    3. Someone asked me to e-mail a list of books on my table at the ETHS workshop yesterday. I figured I'd share the list here in case anyone's interested. And, so there's no question about commercialism, there's no money being made here by me. I sell my stuff pretty much at cost, and the other folks' stuff I just try to make available with no markup. The Museum's books are fundraisers for it. So, here goes... Books I have (write to me personally for ordering instructions -- mailto:billie@tnhillbillie.net ): Hitchhiking Along the Holston, by Mayme Parrott Wood -- reprint of the original, which was done in the 1960's. Awesome Strawberry Plains area history. Hardback, dust jacket, shrink wrapped. Price is $16.00, plus postage and sales tax if applicable. I've got 10 or 12 left, I think. Lilly in the Valley, by Cleve Smith -- story of drug scion Eli Lilly's campaign in the Civil War Battle of Mossy Creek (now Jefferson City). Paperback. Price is $12.00, plus postage and sales tax if applicable. I've got 3 left. Campaign to Nowhere, by Cleve Smith -- story of Longstreet's march through Knoxville, Jefferson, Sevier, and present-day Hamblen County areas. Awesome -- documentation, maps, photos, and incredible detail. Paperback. Price is $25.00, plus postage and sales tax if applicable. Limited printing, so copies are becoming scarce. Tennessee Land: Its Early History and Laws, by me. Written as a guidebook for anyone researching Tennessee land records. An excerpt is on-line at http://web.utk.edu/~kizzer/genehist/research/landlaws.htm . Paperback. Price is $15.00, plus postage and sales tax if applicable. Plenty left. Jefferson County Free White Males, 1861, by me. Transcribed listing of men who were apparently eligible for militia service. It's on-line at http://web.utk.edu/%7Ekizzer/jefferson/1861ndx.htm but some folks like the added sorts and maps found in the book. Paperback. Price is $8.00, plus postage and sales tax if applicable. Plenty left. Jefferson County Miscellaneous Bonds, 1803-about 1828 (depending on bond type). Abstracts of various bonds, including bastardy, indenture, administration, and constable. Original is microfilmed, but it's not indexed. Paperback. Price is $8.00 plus postage and tax if applicable. Plenty left. Genealogical & Historical Research in Jefferson County. Designed to be a guidebook to resources for anyone researching Jeff Co. It's kinda like a 218-page "FAQ." Got great reviews. Paperback. Price is $22.00 plus postage and tax if applicable. Hawkins County Land Grant Books 1 & 2. Abstracts of grants from about 1770-1823 that were registered in Rogersville. Areas covered are all the way to the Mississippi River. Nearly 300 pages; includes introductory history of Hawkins County, land issues, and more. Paperback. Price is $25.00 plus postage and tax if applicable. CD-ROM with PDF file of the 1941 "Official Souvenir Program" from Knoxville's sesquicentennial (150 years) celebration. Book contains tons of information and names of hundreds of local residents (children and adults) who were involved in various events. Price is $6.00 plus postage and tax if applicable. Windows and Mac friendly. ==================================== From Charles Reeves: Souvenir History of Knoxville "The Marble City." Awesome, enhanced reprint of this book, done in 1907. Has tons of information and photos of Knoxville at that period. Paperback -- but each book is an original print from a high-resolution digital laser printer. Price is $20.00 plus postage and tax if applicable. Order from Charles at http://user.icx.net/~reevesca/ -- look for "Notable Reproductions" at the bottom of that page. By the way -- Charles has some FABULOUS map reprints available on his Web site. If you need a custom map done for your research, a family history, or a reunion, talk to him about it. He does incredible work, plus he's extremely reasonable in his prices. AND -- bigggggg news -- Charles has requested digital scans of the 1895 Knox County Landowners Map from the Library of Congress. It shows every owner in the county in the spot where he/she owned land. Charles will be able to print it in full color, either the full map in huge format or individual sections in poster sizes. We should all be excited about this! ================================= From the book shop of Sevier County Heritage Museum (http://www.korrnet.org/schm/): Sevier County, TN, and Its People, a "county heritage book" published about 6 years ago. These are limited edition, hardback, fully indexed, professionally produced books filled with submitted local and family history information and photographs. Price is $60.00, plus postage. Price includes sales tax. For examples of this kind of book, go to http://www.countyheritagebooks.com/ In the Forks of the Little Pigeon River, by David Sims. This book is a documented, illustrated history of "downtown" Sevierville. Hardback, dustjacket, really great. Price is $25, plus postage. Price includes sales tax. To order either of these two books, write to SCHM (mailto:schm@korrnet.org) for instructions.
