| Summary: | What begins here as a scholarly investigation into a Civil War-era fort opens on to a new view of present-day Knoxville, the historic Fort Sanders community adjacent to the University of Tennessee campus and the city's commemoration and memory of the fort. Using historical-archaeological methods, Terry Faulkner and Charles H. Faulkner uncover remnants of the fort, exposing a small error in the historic location and present-day commemoration. More importantly, this book is the first scholarly treatment of Fort Sanders and its history since Digby Seymour's 1963 publication Divided Loyalties, and brings the story of Fort Sanders into the twenty-first century. |
