Zepp &#8211; Perched on the banks of the Cumberland River, Nashville is best known for its role in the civil rights movement, world-class education and, of course, country music. In this unique collection of columns, longtime journalist and Tennessee native George Zepp illuminates a less familiar side of the city. Learn the secrets of Timothy Demonbreun, one of the city&#8217;s first residents, who lived with his family in a cliff-top cave; Cortelia Clark, the blind bluesman who continued to perform on street corners after winning a Grammy award; and Nashville&#8217;s own Cinderella story, which involved legendary radio personality Edgar Bergen and his ventriloquist protegee. Cleverly rendered, using questions from readers across the nation, these little-known tales abound with Music City mystery and charm.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1467135739\/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_vC4wDbPYE7HYJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Murder &amp; Mayhem in Nashville<\/a> by Brian Allison &#8211; Nashville is known for its bold, progressive flair, but few are aware of the city s malevolent past. A rowdy red-light district called Smoky Row spawned several fatal episodes. A murderous temptress with a penchant for poison once strolled the city streets. Legends range from Andrew Jackson s bar fight with Senator Thomas Hart Benton to the macabre 1938 Marrowbone Creek cabin murders. In 1938, a state penitentiary fugitive escape triggered a tragic gunfight. Author Brian Allison illustrates the darker shades of Nashville s colorful past.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Getting There<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0\u2013 Almost all major airlines fly to Nashville, but the ones with the most flights are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aa.com\/homePage.do\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">American<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delta.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Delta<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.southwest.com\">Southwest<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.united.com\/en\/us\">United<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Books\u00a0\u2013 There are so many to prepare you for your experience in this city, but here are a few sure get your curiosity piqued: Hidden History of Nashville by George R.
