  • A History of Tennessee.Indd
    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.

    RECORD OF DECISION Declaration Site Name and Location Sixty-One Industrial Park Site Memphis, Shelby County, Tennessee TND 987790300 Statement of Basis and Purpose This decision document presents the selected remedial action for the Sixty-One Industrial Park Site (the, "Site") in Memphis, Tennessee, which was chosen in accordance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986, and the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). This decision is based on the Administrative Record file for this Site. The State of Tennessee, as represented by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC), has reviewed the reports which are included in the administrative record for the Site. In accordance with 40 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Sec. 300.430, as the support agency, TDEC has provided EPA with input on those reports. The TDEC agrees that enhanced reductive dechlorination (ERD) with monitored natural attenuation (MNA) for the groundwater is an appropriate remedy for the Site. Assessment of Site The response action selected in this Record of Decision is necessary to protect human health and the environment from actual or threatened releases of hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants into the environment.

  • Tennessee – a Tale of Three Climates
    Tennessee – A Tale of Three Climates By Joanne Logan, Tennessee CoCoRaHS State Coordinator, Univ. of Tennessee The flag of Tennessee describes it all: the three stars represent the three grand divisions of Tennessee. They could also indicate the three different types of climate that can be found here owing to the topography and hydrology of the state. The flattish plain of West Tennessee, an extension of the Gulf Coastal Plain, is climatically the warmest part of the state. Temperatures in this area average around 62° F, and precipitation ranges between 46" and 54" increasing as one gets closer to Memphis. The record highest temperature in the state, 113° F, was recorded in Perryville, just to the west of the Tennessee River. West Tennessee also is the most active area of the state for severe weather, and, owing to its presence north of the Gulf Coastal states, is susceptible to the remnants of tropical storms and hurricanes. Middle Tennessee has elements of West Tennessee’s general climate, but East Tennessee’s temperature and precipitation have variability. Middle Tennessee contains the Cumberland Plateau that can record some of the highest precipitation totals in the state, though they are not as high as in the Smoky Mountains. In the summer, the temperatures in the southern part of the region are on par with those of West Tennessee. Nonetheless, Middle Tennessee’s climate is often characterized, especially in the winter, as perhaps the most variable in the state. Snow often falls in the Cumberland Plateau while it would normally be raining in the rest of Middle Tennessee.

  • Origins and Endings: Share Labor and the Economic Effects of Emancipation on the Ames Plantation in Fayette County, Tennessee
    Origins and Endings: Share Labor and the Economic Effects of Emancipation on the Ames Plantation in Fayette County, Tennessee Jason Jordan Introduction In the days immediately following the end of the Civil War in 1865, Southern farmers faced a challenge unlike any they had previously met. It was a time of great change and uncertainty for the Southern economy. The North had won the war, and in the process thousands of black slaves had been granted emancipation. To many Southern farmers who had relied chiefly upon the forced labor of African-Americans for decades in order to drive the Southern economy, this was nothing short of a disastrous occurrence. The principle labor force for a critical mass of the South’s farming communities had been granted freedom and had now set out to discover for themselves what their newfound freedom meant. Some trekked off to attempt to reunite with lost family members. Some moved north in search of better social treatment and jobs. And others simply began trying to find a piece of land that they could call their own. In many cases the lands where African-Americans and their former owners lived, and that blacks were now beginning to leave behind, had been ravaged by the war, rendering it all but useless. In a letter from a Tennessee Confederate soldier, William Milliken, returning home to Fayette County after the war, he recalls the atmosphere of the time. He writes, A few days after the surrender, we were given our paroles and started out to walk home . I left the boys at Grand Junction and walked out to my Father’s plantation some 8 miles.
