Clarksville; Tennessee; has undergone a colossal metamorphosis since the 1700s; when men like Sevier; Montgomery; and Renfroe fought Native Americans along the Cumberland and Red Rivers. Though these founding fathers would not recognize the present rivers; nor the hills upon which Clarksville has grown; Clarksvillians have kept an awareness of their rich past; bridging their lives with those of the early frontiersmen. Today; Clarksville eclectically blends both metropolitan and rural settings to offer residents the best of both worlds.

2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Glynn County. by Benjamin AllenBy Bonnie AllenThis is an excellent historical account of blacks in Glynn County and is a valuable tool for African Americans. It dispells the many myths that have existed for years concerning the quality of separate education. Many of the blacks featured here excelled in their efforts long before intergration. I applaud theprivate schools that cared enough to give the best and I applaud those early settlers who demonstrated courage and valour. In addition I thank the author for having the insight to record the events that most history books refuse to tell. This is a first for blacks in Glynn County.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A Child of Glynn CountyBy Major E. MagwoodI happen to be in this book. Two cousins of mine contributed some of the material for this book and included some of my achievements. Ironically. the first person shown in the book is an old man to whom I used to take meals when I was seven- or eight-years old (prepared by my mother or grandmother. of course). I agree that the educational system during my childhood was pretty good. I left Brunswick. Georgia with only an eighth grade education. yet found that I could compete in the workforce with college graduates. I intend to get copies of this book for my children and grandchildren so they can visualize my origins. Major E. Magwood
