Summary:

Though most Tennesseans first heard of the Tennessee Bicentennial Capitol Mall during the year of its celebration, the path of its creation is almost as old as the state itself. From details of the first settlement on the site of the Mall to descriptions of items still to come, Kem Hinton tells the story of this vital Nashville area in A Long Path through historical pictures and commentary. In A Long Path, Hinton describes the progression of the area in much greater detail than what most people could observe. He explains the symbolism behind the use of different architectural styles, and each progression is revived through preserved photographs and maps.
