Colonial Americans, influenced by the journals and reports of eighteenth century explorers and pioneers, looked to the lands west of the Appalachian Mountains and south of the Ohio River as a rich horizon for expansion. Sumner County - cradle of Middle Tennessee's settlement and history - was founded by pioneer legendary long hunters, patriots, military leaders, and statesmen and served as the gateway for Tennessee's significant role in a young country's yearning for westward expansion. 	They came into this wild and often hostile land with a dream, armed with courage and the written promise of land for service in the recent war for independence tucked into their saddlebags. These brave Americans forged a new community, which would become Sumner County, and the heart of a new state called "Tennassee." During the ensuing century, the county would engender monumental milestones of individual courage and industry, and the emergence of national political and military giants.	The most accessible and enduring accounts of Sumner County's heritage are evidenced today in the surviving homes and sites that witnessed and were, in many instances, integral participants in this history. HISTORIC SUMNER COUNTY is a commemorative portrait of these historic sites and a tribute to today's organizations and citizen stewards dedicated to their preservation for future generations.

Coffee table book celebrating the history and 150th Anniversary of Lehigh University. Lehigh University was born in post- Civil War America, a period when the United States was both rebuilding from the turmoil of war and flexing its muscles as a new economic power. The growth of the period was driven by the dramatic increase in the utilization of iron and coal in industry, brought about by improved transportation on the nation's waterways and railroads.Asa Packer, founder of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, was one of the men who both pushed along and benefited from the dynamics of the day, and by 1865, he had acquired both the vision and the financial clout to give back to the region that had helped him amass a fortune. He would give $500,000 to create a new university, "for the intellectual and moral improvement" of the young men of the Lehigh Valley. The new institution would be called, simply, Lehigh University. Packer's Lehigh welcomed its first class in the fall of 1866, and in the the years since, Lehigh has evolved into one of the most highly regarded institutions of higher learning in the nation, educating thousands of students each year and consistently turning out graduates who go on to enjoy remarkably successful careers--and make an impact in the world.Lehigh graduates have led both the Ford and Chrysler Corporations; orchestrated the construction of the giant locks along the Panama Canal; invented the escalator; and stood as leaders in the worlds of business, engineering, politics, the arts, education, space exploration and countless other fields. Rich in traditions that date back more than a century, Lehigh also boasts a legacy of success in athletics. One of the most storied football rivalries in the United States pits Lehigh against its down-the-road neighbor Lafayette College, a spirited competition that has been played more times than any other rivalry series in the nation.
