"Hope Hart was the daughter of a traveling Methodist minister, Sterling Hart, who was active in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Her father traveled throughout Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Arkansas performing wedding ceremonies and preaching. As such, Hart's memoir of her time with her family provides an eye-witness account to a rapidly evolving West Tennessee and surrounding regions.

As populations were on the move after the Civil War, once rural areas of the upper Mississippi Valley were quickly becoming more populated, and Hart's memoir provides a lens into an important history of the state and larger region"-- Provided by publisher.
