Review:

The Natchez Trace: A Pictorial History celebrates the bicentennial of Tennessee as well as the completion of the northern end of the Trace into Nashville. The beauty, intrigue, history, and significance of the Natchez Trace are all portrayed in text and over 200 illustrations. The Trace was originally an important road for Choctaws, Chickasaws, and other Native Americans. With the development of Middle Tennessee in the late 1700s and the establishment of the Mississippi Territory in 1798, the Natchez Trace became a vital link between these outposts of civilization. Today its beauty and historical significance have been preserved in the Natchez Trace National Parkway. The Natchez Trace offers a glimpse of the wild frontier that surrounded passerby of long ago. The Natchez Trace takes the reader off the beaten path and into a fascinating world. -- Midwest Book Review
