Tennessee History for Kids
How it came about
:
"Most public school students in Tennessee have no Tennessee history or civics textbook, even though students in about half of the grades are required to learn parts of the subject every school year. Because of this, it is more important than ever that students have a place to go for information on Tennessee history.
Nashville author Bill Carey...founded the 501c3 organization Tennessee History for Kids in November 2004 for the purpose of improving this situation. Step one was to research, write, and produce this web site."
