About Tennessee
SECTION VI State of Tennessee A History of Tennessee The Land and Native People Tennessee’s great diversity in land, climate, rivers, and plant and animal life is mirrored by a rich and colorful past. Until the last 200 years of the approximately 12,000 years that this country has been inhabited, the story of Tennessee is the story of its native peoples. The fact that Tennessee and many of the places in it still carry Indian names serves as a lasting reminder of the significance of its native inhabitants. Since much of Tennessee’s appeal for settlers lay with the richness and beauty of the land, it seems fitting to begin by considering some of the state’s generous natural gifts. Tennessee divides naturally into three “grand divisions”—upland, often mountainous, East Tennessee; Middle Tennessee, with its foothills and basin; and the low plain of West Tennessee. Travelers coming to the state from the east encounter first the lofty Unaka and Smoky Mountains, flanked on their western slope by the Great Valley of East Tennessee. Moving across the Valley floor, they next face the Cumberland Plateau, which historically attracted little settlement and presented a barrier to westward migration. West of the Plateau, one descends into the Central Basin of Middle Tennessee—a rolling, fertile countryside that drew hunters and settlers alike. The Central Basin is surrounded on all sides by the Highland Rim, the western ridge of which drops into the Tennessee River Valley. Across the river begin the low hills and alluvial plain of West Tennessee. These geographical “grand divisions” correspond to the distinctive political and economic cultures of the state’s three regions. -

The last comprehensive list of Members of the Tennessee General Assembly was published in 1890, in the book Official and Political Manual of the State of Tennessee by Charles A. Miller. This Manual listed Members of the Tennessee General Assembly State Senators and Representatives from the Territorial General Assembly (August 5, 1794 – July 11, 1795) and the First General Assembly (March 28, 1796) thru Forty-seventh General Assembly which adjourned September 21, 1891 on pages 197 – 248. Listed is every Senator of the Tennessee General Assembly from the Territorial General Assembly (August 5, 1794 – July 11, 1795) to the One Hundredth –Sixth General Assembly which adjourned June 10, 2010. I have also found most members of the elusive Tenth General Assembly (1813 – 1815 because there was no printed or written Senate Journal found) in the book Messages of the Governors of Tennessee volume 1, 1796 – 1821 by Robert H. White. Listed at the beginning of each General Assembly is the number of that Assembly, the city where the Assembly was convened, dates convened for regular and special sessions, dates of adjournment of all sessions, the Speaker of the Senate, and the Chief Clerk if known.
