A Dictionary Of Distinguished Tennesseans
By Albert V.
Goodpasture
The following
list is both incomplete and imperfect. The reader will no doubt
discover the omission of many names that ought to have a place
in every list of eminent Tennesseans. He cannot help noticing
that the dates of birth and death of many well-known Tennesseans
are not given. I have undertaken to make the information given
as accurate as possible. The time and labor in getting up a
paper of this character is very great. The amount of research
necessary to ascertain a single date is sometimes quite out of
proportion to its value. I have given the matter what time I
could, and have found it necessary to publish the list thus
incomplete, or not at all. As I have thought it might be useful
I have ventured to adopt the former course. All who can add
other names or supply data missing in the names herein contained
will confer a favor by mailing them to the author for use in a
subsequent and larger list.
