 Scout-  Thanks for getting back to me.  Just because I have 20 books on ETN does not mean that I have read them all.  I have gotten about a half dozen read so far.  I started collecting those books last fall when I was running around that area. 

I already had a series of CW trips planned for this last spring (Mobile Bay area, Trans Mississippi, NC coastal defenses) that I had to read up on, so ETN had to get set aside until now.  I'm still interested in hearing of any books on ETN that you recommend.  I may or may not have them on my bookshelf.

I also have found that the reading material on the guerilla war in that area is unrelentingly grim.  It is sobering to see how fast murderers came to the fore.  I can read only so much of it then I need to break away and delve into another topic for a while.

The museum collection sounds like a must see.   A few years ago our CWRT took a tour of Civil War Knoxville with Dot Kelly.  It was an excellent tour.  I recommend it highly.
