“A superb guide to 400 statues, columns, reliefs, and other
components of the state’s commemorative landscape.” —Gary W.
Gallagher, author of The Union War Throughout Tennessee, Civil War
monuments stand tall across the landscape, from Chattanooga to
Memphis, and recall important events and figures within the Volunteer
State’s military history. In Tennessee Civil War Monuments, Timothy
S. Sedore reveals the state’s history-laden landscape through the
lens of its many lasting monuments. War monuments have been cropping
up since the beginning of the commemoration movement in 1863, and
Tennessee is now home to four hundred memorials. Not only does Sedore
provide commentary for every monument—its history and aesthetic
panache—he also explores the relationships that Tennessee natives
have with these historic landmarks. A detailed exploration of the
monuments that enrich this Civil War landscape, Sedore’s Tennessee
Civil War Monuments is a guide to Tennessee’s spirit and heritage.
