History of Fentress County Tennessee. the Old Home of Mark Twain's Ancestors. World War Memorial Edition 1920

Fentress County Tennessee was formed in 1823 from Morgan and Overton counties and was itself in part the parent of Scott and Pickett counties. Mr. Hogue's History of Fentress County consists essentially of two parts. The first is a memorial to Fentress County citizens who served in the Great War (e.g. the legendary Sergeant Alvin York); the second is a collection of some 350 personal and family sketches highlighted by references to marriage occupation and place of residence.
