Germantown, Tennessee, during the Civil War Era

More about the book

Focusing on the community's resilience, the narrative explores Germantown, Tennessee, and its evolution before, during, and after the Civil War. The town, once a peaceful enclave, faced turmoil from Confederate raiders and post-war social tensions. The aftermath of the war brought economic strife and racial violence, compounded by the Yellow Fever epidemic of 1878, which nearly devastated the town. Enhanced with illustrations and detailed appendices, this work provides a comprehensive look at Germantown's struggles and gradual recovery over nearly a century.
