    The Star of All Things, Y.M.H.A. News, August 1915 Some of Meyer Wolfe’s earliest acclaim was for his drawings published in The Nashville Y.M.H.A. News. In this cartoon, Meyer, or “Mike” as friends called him, pokes fun at his varied activities, including his job as a store window dresser. Image courtesy of Tennessee State Museum Nashville Tennessean and the Nashville American May 21, 1918 A protégé of Tennessean political cartoonist and future Pulitzer winner Carey Orr, Wolfe moved to Chicago in 1917 and briefly attended the Art Institute. When his studies were upended by World War I, he returned to Nashville where this drawing was published, noting him as “the pupil of Carey Orr.” Untitled (Tennis Match) Pen and ink c. 1922 From roughly 1918 to 1926, Meyer Wolfe worked in New York as an illustrator for a newspaper syndicate. This pen and ink drawing is an example of his commercial artwork from the period. Through his illustration work Wolfe saved enough money to travel to Europe in 1926. Courtesy of Dr. and Mrs. Lawrence K. Wolfe. Sketchbook 1919 Based on its handwritten date and cover inscription, this collection of sketches is from Wolfe’s enrollment at New York’s Art Student League. The book contains live model drawings from his studio classes as seen in the example of a “20 Min –” timed exercise. Courtesy of Tennessee State Museum Sketchbook 1927 This book of drawings made during Wolfe’s 1927 trip to Europe includes a quick rendition of an outdoor café. Courtesy of Tennessee State Museum Sketchbook 1930s This collection of loose drawings contains scenes Depression era Nashville, including a subtle sketch of sculptor William Edmondson at work.

    352 TENNESSEE BLUE BOOK A HISTORY OF TENNESSEE 353 SECTION VI Tennessee 354 TENNESSEE BLUE BOOK A HISTORY OF TENNESSEE 355 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. For all but the last 200 years of the 12,000 years or so 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 inhabit- ants. Since much of Tennessee’s appeal for her ancient people as well as for later pioneer 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 moun- tainous, 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 Cen- tral 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.
