Description

A compilation of tales centered around the people who lived, worked, and died in the town on the border—Bristol, Tennessee/Virginia. This collection includes historical references to the days of the stagecoach, tales of prostitution, evidence of Bristol ghosts, and narratives about the people who lived in the Town of Bristol in its beginning days. Some of the stories come straight from interviews with the early citizens, while others include documentation from actual court cases or personal diaries. Nonetheless, each narrative provides a small glimpse into the day-to-day life in the town.
