Early Inns and Taverns of East Tennessee: A Photoessay
ISBN: 9780964774827 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From the days of earliest settlement through the period when the stagecoach reigned supreme, the inns and taverns of East Tennessee played a unique role in the region's history.

These oases cared not only for the needs of the traveler but... From the days of earliest settlement through the period when the stagecoach reigned supreme, the inns and taverns of East Tennessee played a unique ro...
