I recently added the book, Slavery’s End in Tennessee, 1861-1865 to the bibliography list. I perused this book once during a visit to the TN State Archives as I was looking for information about the Napier family. The book is a good resource for understanding the broader picture of blacks after slavery in Tennesse. For […]
