Franklin Tennessee... The Jewel of the Harpeth

by Leonard Isaacs

Leonard Isaacs recounts the many remembrances of growing up inFranklin, Tennessee. These recollections are funny, surprising andsometimes sad. All are highly entertaining.Franklin was a typical small town in the South, with its cast ofcharacters: the wheeler-dealers, the store owners, the policemen,the preachers, the educators, the outrageous citizens, and all inbetween.You will no doubt discover that Leonard was unusually gifted toget into humorous scrapes and pranks - and also, how to get outof them, time and again.Leonard also covers race relations at that time in Southern historywith sensitivity, and an unusual desire and ability to bridge racialdivides - a trait which he maintains to this day.This book will either bring back memories of small towns in the South, or provide a glimpse for younger readers of what life was like in the 1930's, 40's and 50's in Franklin, Tennessee.
