| HISTORY of DONELSON AREA |
 |
CLOVER BOTTOM In 1780, the Gower party, tending Middle Tennessee's first cotton and corn crop, were killed or captured by Indians. On nearby Stone's River some flatboats were built for Aaron Burr's abortive expedition. The famous match races between Andrew Jackson's "Truxton" and Captain Joe Erwin's "Plowboy" were run on racetrack in river bottom, 1805-06. |

| This section of Image Studies was developed in 1998 and 1999. With the unfortunate closure of the Opryland Theme Park to make way for Opry Mills... another shopping center to add to the glut of such structures, many of the tourist oriented infrastructures have also been discarded. In the interest of nostalgia these businesses have not been deleted from our Image Studies and descriptions are still found to follow. |
