Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A History of Tennessee From 1663 to 1900: For Use in Schools
The people who live in Tennessee, who have made it a civilized country, and who have made its history, are the children, grandchildren, etc., of people who came from Europe and settled in America. Before the days of Columbus the people of Europe knew nothing of Amer ica. They had never heard of such a country.
In 1492 Columbus sailed from Spain across the Atlantic Ocean and discovered some of the islands of the West Indies. He afterward discovered South America, but he never saw North America. No people except savages, that Columbus called Indians, then lived in America.
