Title: Tales of old Whitehaven
Description: Whitehaven, Tennessee is a suburb of Memphis, annexed into the City of Memphis as of January 1, 1970.  This book is written by one of the founding daughters who saw much of it first-hand and her parents saw the rest and passed on the stories and information.  Any other information she needed could be found walking the streets of Whitehaven in the day it was written, for we all still lived right there together as a close community.
This is the history of a town being built house by house, and business by business and all becoming a part of the whole.  Clearly, nothing was not an important part of Whitehaven history to this author, and she was one of the biggest parts of that history herself.  As you read it, read between the lines as to the author's one-on-one relationship with an entire township, and their relationships to one another!
There has truly never been written a more readable, wonderful tale of a town in the making.  Colonel White, for whom it was named, would surely love it.  Yes, the writer of this description knows it from the inside because she grew up living next door to Miss McCorkle and is her great-niece.  Watching this book come to life, written in longhand at a card table when this writer was 15 years old, was an experience to be treasured.  You are guaranteed to be torn.  You will want to share it with so many, but you also will not want to part with it!  The life and times of our youth and prior to that!  Amazing!
