Tennessee Stories
Tennessee Stories' vivid description of characters from the Eastern mountains to the Western flatlands creates an accurate, humorous, entertaining, and friendly image of the volunteer state's personality. Their very presence speaks the same gutsy tongue as the sturdy pioneers who carved Tennessee from the wilderness.
Tennessee Stories is Dumas' second work in fifteen months. His Henry County family history, which highlighted Tennessee's 200th Birthday, quickly sold its first printing, and is continuing to sell after its second press run.

About the author
JAMES DUMAS is a columnist, reporter, and publisher who spent many years working on rural newspapers in Tennessee. He is the author of Tennessee Stories.
Dumas worked as a columnist and writer at Paris Publishing Co. His earlier work, a family history of Henry County, Tennessee, sold out its first printing within fifteen months of Tennessee Stories.
When he’s not writing, Dumas draws on decades reporting across rural Tennessee. Much of his work, including the character portraits collected in Tennessee Stories, reflects that long engagement with the people and places of the state.
James was born on October 3, 1929, in Paris, Tennessee.
