It All Happened In Renfro Valley by Pete Stamper (review)

It All Happened In Renfro Valley by Pete Stamper (review) Harry Rice Appalachian Heritage, Volume 28, Number 1, Winter 2000, pp. 78-80 (Review) Published by The University of North Carolina Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/aph.2000.0034 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/435569/summary Access provided at 19 Feb 2020 20:01 GMT from JHU Libraries "kingpin" in the state. While his machinations directly affected thousands of people in the state, he is given fair treatment in this survey of Tennessee history. The authors could have very easily lambasted Crump, but chose instead to show his good and bad sides. Earlier politicians like Austin Peay and Andrew Jackson receive attention in the political picture in the state, a picture painted with surprising clarity, since just what really went on in the smoke-filled rooms is often still murky. The writing style of the book is vigorous, rarely stumbling or flagging in its attempt to bring to life generations of history. The work is carefully edited and attractively presented. In all, Tennesseans and Their History is a highly readable and interesting book. —Marshall Myers Pete Stamper. It All Happened In Renfro Valley.
