Nashville: Gateway to the South offers a unique, thorough, and up-to-the-minute guide to every part of the city: its education, commerce, music and entertainment, clubs, restaurants, theaters, amphitheaters, performance halls, listening rooms, and honky-tonks. For those who like history, the book gives a detailed record of the founding of Nashville, its occupation by Federal troops during the War Between the States, and its rise as a modern city. A month-by-month events-and-festivals calendar gives specific descriptions of Nashville's many annual fairs, shows, and exhibitions.
