Description

At the northern edge of the World's Fair Park in Knoxville, Tennessee, a striking set of thirty-two granite pylons stands as a monument to the tradition of military service in East Tennessee. The East Tennessee Veterans Memorialexplores the creation and significance of this commemorative monument, providing a window into the lives and courageous actions of the more than 6,200 men and women whose names are inscribed on the sobering markers. In this book, author John Romeiser, with the assistance of Jack McCall, showcases the stories of over 300 service members and their families, documented with public records, obituaries, and family recollections. In these pages, readers will find the accounts of each of East Tennessee's 14 Medal of Honour recipients, along with tales of a variety of other veterans from World War I to the present, people whose lives and deaths together form a microcosm of the armed forces. Richly illustrated with historical photographs, this ambitious undertaking delivers not only a compelling history of individual lives but also a broader sense of military history in the region and a contribution to the scholarship on the value of monuments as a means to honour the past. Review "At last! A reliable, well-researched, and thoroughly engaging source to some of the most compelling accounts of East Tennessee heroism and sacrifice. Military historians and casual readers alike will find hours of thoughtful, informative reading in this ambitious and compassionate regional study." --Lisa M. Budreau, senior curator of Military History, Tennessee State Museum "These veterans' stories educate, inspire, and, in this time of uncertainty and hate, they also reassure us that the best of our state and our nation can endure any challenge that comes our way." --from the foreword by Tennessee State Historian Carroll Van West About the Author John B.
