This small thin book was written by Thomas O Summers.  Printed by the Southern Methodist Publishing House in Nashville Tennessee. Contains short moral, christian stories.  Ink writing in the front and a tear on the fly page. The binding is a little loose in one area.  Some of the interior pages have stains. Proceeds are for the Macon Ga Friends of the Library.

This is a scarce little book which tells the story of young Sam Davis who was hung for his refusal to reveal Confederate plans. The book was written by Edythe Johns Rucker Whitley in 1947. Sponsored by the Sam Davis Memorial Association and the Sam Davis Home in Smyrna Tennessee. His story takes 63 pages  The rest of the book consists of photos, geneological material on the Davis family. Some of the pages on Davis have pencil markings which marked the interest of the reader at one time. Some wear to the boards and top and bottom of spine. The color in the scan is not true to the book, which is actually grayish. 

This may be the most important Tennessee Regimental history, and certainly I have referred to it on many occasions while researching. As can be seen in the scans, the book is in very poor condition and attempts to restore it by someone made it worse.  I’m going to let the scans speak for themselves. Needless to say the binding is very loose. The title is History of the Twentieth Tennessee Regiment Volunteer Infantry, C.S.A.

This very old item was use to ask for a $1 donation to the Nashville Relief Society.  The back names two of the officers,  Mrs J S Reeves President NRS and Mrs. G P Rose, Treasurer NRS.

Nice interior shot of President James Knox Polk Memorial Room.  I believe this is a fairly scarce postcard which is why I'm offering it,despite the fact that it appears to have been trimmed and the back is quite damaged. Back appears to have been ripped out of an album and there is glue residue..

This is a first edition (1986) and signed by the author James Hoobler.  It is filled with the images by George N. Barnard & others of occupied Nashville and Chattanooga. Good condition despite me referring to it all the time over the years.   

This is the first (1933)  edition of the book which is worn and well used.  Useful for the genealogist. Book stamp of the Colonial Dames of America and an owners stamp on the back of the front board.The dedication and title page are loose but the rest of the book is still bound, though shaky. Compiler and author was Jeannette Tilllotson Acklen.

Both of the blotters measure 9 and a half by 4 inches  Both are early but well established companies in Nashville. The Cullom & Ghertner Company is unused and the dusty rim can be erased.  The Spurlock-Neal blotter is well used and worn.  See scans.  It is advertising Rich's Tasteless Chill Tonic and Rich's Little Liver Eggs.  Quack remedies of course.

This is pretty dingy and has some stains on the edges and into the photograph. Still an interesting looking house which is identified on the back as being in East Nashville on Glenwood Ave..  I got this out the C.C.
