BigDaddy WINS !!!

Name 3 books written (or co-written) by Dr. Bob Womack.

1. Call Forth the Mighty Men (civil war)
2. The Echo of Hoofbeats I, II & III
3. A Tn History Book (name?)

That is correct. Dr. Womack was also the co-author of "A History Of Tennessee".

Anybody know the other co-author of the Tennessee history book?

GM...I have this book...somewhere at mother's. Not sure of the co-authors name...but seems like he was a school teacher in Rutherford County. I'm going to read it again.

I believe the co-author's name was Terry Weeks (?)

Yes, Terry Weeks is correct!! He started his teaching career at Kittrell and wound up at Central Middle in Murfreesboro. He did things in a very unusual way. For instance...he was known to come into the classroom (he taught social studies) dressed as a criminal in order to provoke a discussion about criminal rights. He might come as Lincoln, or a slave, or a business executive...well, you get the picture. He was the National Teacher of the Year (1988) and went to meet the President. I was teaching at Kittrell when this happened and we declared Terry Weeks Day and threw a big to-do in his honor. He left Central the next year to join the faculty at MTSU and wrote the book with Dr. Bob. It had been many years since there had been a new Tennessee history textbook. I have one signed by him somewhere, since I taught Tennessee history as well.

Thought perhaps Sadlbum or Deltaboy would know this one. The answer is:

Jim Miller and Ham (or Happy Ham), a bald-faced, four stockinged bay gelding with a white spot on one side.
He was champion walk nod horse of the 1917 State Fair and was of Brooks stock.

Sadlbum, I just sent you a private message on here since I don't have your e-mail. I just figured out how to work the private message thing, so to those of you who sent me messages in the past, I just got them. Sorry not to have answered.
