The Tilson Grist Mill, which nestled more than a hundred years in the shadow of mile high Bald Mountain, was donated by the George Frank Tilson family to the Tennessee State Museum. It has been moved to Nashville and restored to use for public display and demonstration, an exciting centerpiece of the Pioneer Section of the Museum. This publication, complete with numerous photographs and illustrations, tells about the mill with interesting sketches of the life and times of some of the Tilsons. This pioneer family, which traces its American ancestry back to the Mayflower, first came to Greasy Cove (Unicoi County, Tennessee) during the 1790s. The text includes 16 pages of genealogy.

Dr. Nathaniel Edens Hyder (1849-1904) intended to write a history of Carter County for young people. In 1903 a number of his articles did appear in the local newspaper, but due to a premature death he did not reach his goal. Adding to his research and notes, Mildred Kozsuch has compiled an interesting, fact-filled volume with an index of more than 2000 names. 
Numerous photographs accompany the anecdotes, observations, and transcriptions of historical documents. A special section at the end of the volume contains brief sketches of Carter County communities and families.
