  • Sam Davis Home Smyrna, Tennessee August 2007 – May 2008
    Sam Davis Home Smyrna, Tennessee August 2007 – May 2008 Tour Guide and Intern Contact: Anita Teague, Executive Director [email protected] During my time at the Sam Davis Home, I was responsible for guiding guests through the main house and grounds of the historic site. I also worked in the gift shop and museum as a retail associate and receptionist. In addition, I assisted the Educational Coordinator and Event Coordinator with various educational programs and events that took place throughout the year at the site. Through this process, I learned about public history and leadership as a public historian for college credit at Middle Tennessee State University. As part of an independent study during my final semester at MTSU, I developed an education program that the staff could implement for groups that visit the Sam Davis Home. I researched the background information for this program, curriculum standards, teacher expectations, and staff expectations to complete a comprehensive program. The program, Children in the Civil War, provides teachers with activities to complete before and after their visit to the Sam Davis Home, so students gain a better understanding of the subject. Table of Contents Summary Outline Script Pre-Activities Post-Activies Handouts and Worksheets Summary This education program was developed to help students learn about the life of children on plantations during the American Civil War. This program will cover the child’s role within the family, with special emphasis on the Davis family children. It will also cover the day in the life of a child including chores and school, and manners and morals.

When the Lord calls up earth's heroes To stand before His face, Oh, many a name unknown to fame Shall ring from that high place! And out of a grave in the Southland, At the just God's call and beck, Shall one man rise with fearless eyes And a rope about his neck. For men have swung from gallows Whose souls were white as snow. Not how they die or where, but why, Is what God's records show. And on that mighty ledger, Is writ Sam Davis' name-- For honor's sake he would not make A compromise with shame. The great world lay before him, For he was in his youth. With love of life young hearts are rife, But better he loved truth. He fought for his convictions, And when he stood at bay He would not flinch or stir one inch From honor's narrow way. They offered life and freedom If he would speak the word; In silent pride he gazed aside As one who had not heard. They argued, pleaded, threatened-- It was but wasted breath.

  • Forrest's Escort, Fall, 2013
    Forrest’s Escort The Official Newsletter of the Tennessee Division Sons of Confederate Veterans October 2013 Members of the Division, After delays with the United States Postal Service we finally have our newsletter. The problem is price increases and how the newsletter is processed through the USPS equipment to mail to our members. We possibly will have one more newsletter mailing prior to our being forced to other methods. Our choices of other methods will be to go to our online version only or should we continue to print & mail it will be necessary to raise membership dues for each member. The current cost for the Forrest’s Escort newsletter is approximately $10,000 annually for printing and mailing. We are just like many other organizations that are feeling the pinch. The Forrest’s Escort online newsletter is on our Tennessee Division SCV website: http://www.tennessee-scv.org/march2013.pdf I encourage all SCV members, family and friends to make an effort to attend the Sam Davis Sesquicentennial Memorial Service on Friday, November 22, 2013 at the Tennessee State Capitol building. I ask members of the Tennessee Division to be dressed in period attire or dress coat with tie (optional). We must put forth a good positive appearance as all eyes will be upon us, so please conduct yourselves accordingly. Also, those of you who can bring any historical period Confederate flags to assist with painting downtown Nashville in our colors will be appreciated. We have a full day of events on Saturday, November 23, 2013 at the Sam Davis home – please refer to the article in this issue for details.
