Franklin County

Oh man, what a great question.

And I do wanna say, like, I, I didn't say this ear- I'll be real fast, but I try to say this whenever I do anything at the library, was that, mm, mm, I grew up in Winchester, Tennessee, in Franklin County.

It's a rural place, but I mean, like, we have a Walmart, you know what I mean? Like, we weren't, like, walking in bare feet.

But it was deeply rural, you know? Like, we didn't have a lot of stuff that I wanted.

Sure

She was born on October 24th of 1987. in Tullahoma, Tennessee.

Now Tullahoma is 90 minutes south of Nashville and it's about an hour northeast of Chattanooga on the border of Coffey County and Franklin County.

Tullahoma's welcome sign says, a city as unique as its name.

But Tullahoma has a warm and welcoming vibe.

The young man who called 911 spoke to the dispatcher, and when the dispatcher asked the location that the fire was near, he said, that bridge going like to Tullahoma, it looks like a forest fire.

He turned the car around and then parked near the blaze, watching, ready to call back if the fire did get out of control.

10 minutes later, Officer Charles Steins of the Franklin County Sheriff's Department responded to the call.

The brush fire had died down by that point, and as he approached, the teenagers motioned to where the fire was still smoking.

There was a state called the state of Franklin that declared its independence, wrote a constitution, had marriage laws, had people living there, had a governor.

This is in what's now Franklin County, Tennessee, but they basically were put down by an army sent by North Carolina, so they don't exist, the state of Franklin.

But a lot of those guys ultimately ended up being the early leaders of what becomes the state of Tennessee, which joins the Constitution during Washington's term.

And so, yeah, I think the whole ability of our system to peacefully incorporate these new states that in another dynamic would have just split off and become independent countries.
