	Images of America: Bradley County by Robert George, Mitchell Kinder Price: $19.99 Bradley County consists of rolling hills in two valleys at the base of the Smoky Mountains. The county was named for Col. Edward Bradley, a friend of Andrew Jackson and veteran of the War of 1812. While agriculture dominated the local economy well into the 19th century, a diverse industrial base grew to employ thousands and bring prosperity to the county. Religion has also been important to Bradley County, as it is home to seven denominations' international headquarters. Images explore the county seat of Cleveland as well as Charleston, Tasso, McDonald, Georgetown, Flint Springs, and other communities.		Myra Inman: Diary of the Civil War in East Tennessee edited by William R. Snell Price: $35.00 Like the famous diary of Anne Frank, 13 year old Myra Inman's diary begins with ordinary events and tells the story of a child's view of the horrors of war. This book offers a unique perspective on the Civil War - that of a child in the borderlands, where families were torn apart by differing loyalties. William R. Snell is professor of history at Lee University. His previous publications include Hard Times Remembered and From War to Peace, both in-depth studies of an East Tennessee county's history .
	Bradley Divided   by Melba Lee Murray Price: $29.99 The popular history of Bradley County during the Civil War sold out and was out of print for some time. The Museum Center at 5ive Points, to which the Murrays donated the book rights, issued a new edition to coincide with its grand opening celebration. Bradley Divided includes photographs and maps that help illustrate the story of Bradley County during the Civil War. It is a story of one county in Southeast Tennessee where the bloodiest war in our nation's history irrevocably altered the area for generations. It is a story of how the author, a retired librarian who has spent most of her life in Cleveland and Bradley County, discovered the complex history of how the war affected East Tennessee.		Robert Lee of Tennessee: Loyal Union Farmer by Raymond and Melba Lee Murray Price: $19.95 Robert Lee was born in Halifax, Virginia in 1798, seven years before Robert E. Lee was born. Some people claim they were cousins, but no documentation was found. He moved to Sequatchie Valley, Tennessee as a teenager and on to Bradley County. He was opposed to secession and was a strong Union man when the Civil War broke out. One of his sons joined the Union Army. The third son was a very religious man who refused to fight and hid out in the White Oak Mountains. The Indian discovery on the Lee farm added a prehistoric view to the historic facts of the Civil War. The archeological report of Indian activity, back to before the time of Christ gives a good picture of things that happened on the Lee farm.
	Cleveland the Beautiful by William R. Snell Price: $15.99 This book is no longer in publication and only a limited number are available at the Museum Center Museum Store. It is an excellent history of Cleveland written by William R. Snell, Cleveland's historian.		Images of America: Cleveland by Robert L. George Pictures capture the town when it grew from a humble traveler's rest called Taylor's Place into a bustling community full of opportunity that attracted people over the years. This book allows readers to visit the past in a unique way to rediscover the city's early landscape and the principal industries that guided the town through the Civil War.
