Publication: Bristol Herald Courier Article Title: Author's Book Looks At Images From Sullivan County, Tenn Author: Tom Netherland Date: 10/12/08 Let's look deep into Sullivan County. Through historic Blountville, into picturesque Bluff City, all about Kingsport, across the South Holston Lake and down Bristol's State Street circa years gone by. Just part the pages of Joe Tennis' picturesque new book, "Sullivan County, Tennessee: Images of America" (Arcadia, $19.99). In stores now, the longtime Bristol Herald Courier features writer dips into the Volunteer State with a book that thoroughly examines Sullivan County via interspersions of text with numerous photographs. "I'm absolutely excited about this book because of how many years of photos it spans," Tennis said. "This is in many ways a then-and-now book. I kind of wanted to bring an evolution of the county to the book." Take Bristol. Tennis employs early and contemporary photographs of Bristol Motor Speedway, exhibiting the track's transition from Lilliputian to colossus. Shots of country music pioneer A.P. Carter and Bristol native Tennessee Ernie Ford from the distant past juxtapose with recent pictures of Johnny Cash and local historian V.N. "Bud" Phillips. "I wanted to make sure it was a good balance, had maps, had all the corners of the county covered and had just the right photos," Tennis said. "I wanted every photo to make sense as to why they were in there." When Tennis began the book in January 2007, he ventured a bit into the unknown. Text drove his prior books such as last year's "Beach to Bluegrass," and therefore he searched for just the right words. With "Sullivan County," the scribe sought photos and then text. "You meet a lot of people and go into a lot of homes," Tennis said. "It was an education." But Tennis did not proceed willy-nilly. Architects do not simply draw, football coaches do not merely line up their players and play, and wordsmiths do not pick up a pen and write away. Tennis had a plan. "I grabbed every resource I had in Sullivan County," Tennis said, "and wrote a massive outline of what needed to be in the book and took inventory of the landmarks." Let's see. Bluff City Mills? Check. The Netherland Inn? Check. Country music, King's Department Store, mountains, lakes, churches. Check 'em all. "The diversity of this county is so sweet. You can't get bored with this county," Tennis said. "I think it translates to these pages. I wanted to explain the big stories and also tell you something new."

Synopsis
Sullivan County sits at the center of the Tri-Cities region of northeast Tennessee, with a scenic skyline, miles of mountains in the Cherokee National Forest, and three large lakes built by the Tennessee Valley Authority. Well-known county crossroads include Colonial Heights and Bloomingdale, while famous local landmarks include Warriors Path State Park; the stalagmites of the Appalachian Caverns and Bristol Caverns; the World s Fastest Half-Mile Track at Bristol Motor Speedway; the Birthplace of Country Music at Bristol; and the Grand Guitar, the world s only guitar-shaped museum. Piney Flats is the home of Rocky Mount, once the capitol building of the Territory of the United States South of the River Ohio. Bluff City boasts railroad history and Civil War stories along the South Fork of the Holston River. Kingsport lays claim to Netherland Inn, Bays Mountain Park, and the Long Island of the Holston, a sacred place for the Cherokees. The courthouse town of Blountville holds the distinction of being the only county seat in Tennessee that is not incorporated.", Sullivan County sits at the center of the Tri-Cities region of northeast Tennessee, with a scenic skyline, miles of mountains in the Cherokee National Forest, and three large lakes built by the Tennessee Valley Authority.
