Summary:

"This scholarly edition of Anne Armstrong's autobiography, Of Time and Knoxville, published here for the first time, provides a snapshot of Knoxville in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as the city was becoming a modern, industrialized urban center. Armstrong moved to Knoxville as a teenager in 1885 and spent her early formative years there. Her memoir discusses the University of Tennessee, a growing west Knoxville (Cumberland Avenue and Kingston Pike, in particular), and other notable areas in what we now know as the university and downtown districts. Armstrong is also author of This Day and Time, an Appalachian novel credited as the first fictional account to depict the region realistically. Linda Behrend has written a critical introduction and meticulously annotated Armstrong's work"-- Provided by publisher.
