Hidden Glory reveals the life and times of a plantation house, now over 250 years old. Human lifespan rarely exceeds one century; therefore this biography necessarily includes generations of owners and occupants in order to acquaint the reader with the main character, Hampton Plantation.

In 1816, Henry and Septima Rutledge left the security of Charleston, SC to establish a county seat on the Elk River in Franklin County, Tennessee. This book brings an emerging nation into focus, from colonial Charleston to frontier Nashville, from the Revolution to the War Between the States. Illustrated and indexed.
