What is Tennessee (Portraits of the States) about?
What do the king of rock 'n' roll and a vice president of the United States have in common? Both Elvis Presley and Al Gore are from Tennessee, along with scores of notable figures, including Sequoyah - who developed a Cherokee alphabet - Davy Crockett, and three U.S. presidents. Nashville, the state capital, is the home of country music and the Grand Ole Opry. A member of the Confederacy during the Civil War, Tennessee is the site of historic battles. A little more than one hundred years after the Civil War, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was shot down in Memphis, a city now famous for its rich blend of races and cultures.
