  • "Just Mention Electricity and the Most Humdrum Citizen Immediately
    "Just mention electricity and the most humdrum citizen immediately becomes a poet, and when we think of it, there is no other servamt of humanity that performs so many useful duties for us." Towards an understanding of the history and material culture of Pre-TVA Hydroelectric Development in Tennessee, 1900 - 1933. PART I. By James B. Jones, Jr. The technology and design of electrical systems and the institutions formed to administer them matured together. In his book Networks of Power, Thomas P. Hughes, perhaps the foremost historian of the field, reveals three stages in the development of light and power in the United States from roughly 1890 to 1930. Varying with small differences in detail, the evolution of Tennessee's electrical supply system before the advent of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) correspond to the delineations Hughes discerns. This is not to suggest, however, that the evolution of hydroelectric power generation occurred in a lock-step manner, o- ne phase leading inevitably, logically and instantaneously to the next in an orderly, chronological procession of pre-ordained events. Indeed, development was more spasmodic as circumscribed by the temporal limits of this narrative. The main characteristic of the first stage was the emergence of low voltage, small, direct current (d.c.) lighting companies. As the forerunner of the contemporary electrical utility industry, these centrally located hydroelectric plants supplied light and electricity only to nearby municipalities. Because such low-voltage d.c. systems as these could serve only the small geographic areas to which they were confined by want of future developments in long distance electrical transmission, the number, not the size, of hydroelectric plants grew.

  • Field Chemical Examination of the Waters in Tennessee Streams
    FIELD CHEMICAL EXAMINATION OF THE WATERS IN TENNESSEE STREAMS CHARLES S. SHOUP Department of Biology, Vanderbilt University Nashville, Tennessee Reprinted from the JOURNAL OE THE TENNESSEE ACADEMY OE SCIENCE, Volume XXV, Number 1, January, 1950. FIELD CHEMICAL EXAMINATION OF THE WATERS IN TENNESSEE STREAMS' CHARLES S. SHOUP Department of Biology, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee INTRODUCTION Fresh-water biology is a relatively new field of investigation in the southern United States, particularly in connection with fisheries re- sources and potential fish production. In the country as a whole such studies began only a little more than a half-century ago, and date from pioneer work on the Great Lakes and the important examina- tions made of the Illinois River system by S. A. Forbes (1877, 1893, 1911, 1928) with varied studies in other regions. The work of E. A. Birge and Chancy J uday (1904, 1907, 1910, 1914) on Wisconsin lakes beginning almost with the new century and of J. E. Reighard (1894) in Michigan and of C. A. Kofoid (1903) in Illinois initiated recognition of the importance of knowledge regarding biological bal- ance in fresh waters, the maintenance of which pays dividends in fishable streams and sometimes in marketable fish flesh. These studies of the general water chemistry from Tennessee streams were begun in 1938 as a part of the biological survey work which was at that time being conducted by the Tennessee Department of Conservation, Division of Game and Fish, and which ended as a state-supported enterprise in the summer of 1941. Since the war the additional supplemental and confirmatory information contained in this report has been obtained by the author, and is now offered as a contribution to support the previously-published papers which have resulted from the efforts of the first biological survey in Tennessee (Shoup, 1940; Shoup and Peyton, 1940; Shoup, Peyton, and Gen- try, 1941 ; Gentry, 1941 ; Hobbs and Shoup, 1942; Shoup, 1943; Wright and Shoup, 1945; Shoup, 1947).

  • Transportation and Transformation in Tennessee's Cumberland Plateau: the Rails and Roads of Warren and White Counties, 1870-19
    TRANSPORTATION AND TRANSFORMATION IN TENNESSEE’S CUMBERLAND PLATEAU: THE RAILS AND ROADS OF WARREN AND WHITE COUNTIES, 1870-1940 By Elizabeth A. Foster A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History Middle Tennessee State University May 2018 Thesis Committee: Dr. Carroll Van West, Chair Dr. Brenden Martin ABSTRACT Between 1870 and 1940, Warren and White Counties saw a transformation in transportation that dramatically changed their rural landscape. By 1855, Warren County gained access to the main line of Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railroad from a branch that began in Tullahoma and ended in McMinnville. In the following decades, McMinnville prospered from having greater accessibility to larger national markets. In 1884, the branch extended past McMinnville and into Sparta. For Sparta, the railroad provided access to largely untapped resources such as coal and timber. Transportation continued to evolve with the mass production of automobiles. In 1915, the route of the Memphis-to-Bristol Highway through Warren and White Counties further transformed the landscape of the two counties, providing even larger connections to national markets. Due to the presence of the railroad and the first state highway, Warren and White Counties stood out from the rest of the Upper Cumberland. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page LIST OF FIGURES…………………………………………………………………………… iv INTRODUCTION: UPPER CUMBERLAND HISTORY AND SCHOLARSHIP………...... 1 CHAPTER ONE: EARLY MODES OF TRANSPORTATION………………………………. 16 CHAPTER TWO: RISE OF THE RAILROAD……………………………………………….. 36 CHAPTER THREE: GOOD ROADS COME TO TOWN……………………………………. 64 CONCLUSION: TODAY’S LANDSCAPE…………………………………………………... 86 BIBLIOGRAPHY……………………………………………………………………………… 89 APPENDICES……………………………………………………………….…………………. 93 APPENDIX A: KEY TRANSPORTATION RESOURCES IN THE STUDY AREA…94 iii LIST OF FIGURES Page I Appalachian Region of the United States………………………………………………….

GROAT, Director For information on the water program in Tennessee write to: District Chief, Water Resources Division U.S. Geological Survey 640 Grassmere Park, Suite 100 Nashville, Tennessee 37211 2005 PREFACE This volume of the annual hydrologic data report of Tennessee is one of a series of annual reports that document hydrologic data gathered from the U.S. Geological Survey’s surface- and ground-water data-collection networks in each State, Puerto Rico, and the Trust Territories. These records of streamflow, ground-water levels, and quality of water provide the hydrologic informa- tion needed by State, local, and Federal agencies, and the private sector for developing and man- aging our Nation’s land and water resources. This report is the culmination of a concerted effort by dedicated personnel of the U.S. Geo- logical Survey who collected, compiled, analyzed, verified, and organized the data, and who typed, edited, and assembled the report. In addition to the authors, who had primary responsibility for assuring that the information contained herein is accurate, complete, and adheres to Geologi- cal Survey policy and established guidelines, most of the data were collected, computed, and pro- cessed from the subdistrict offices.
