they are in tennessee of the winter of 63 and it is a bad winter and the armies are stationary. the union army is near murfreesboro and the army of tennessee, the confederate army is in the high land is near, and morgan's command is protecting the white flint mayor lynnville and while he is doing that, morgan will detach elements of his command and send them into kentucky. now they come in to kentucky for multiple reasons. one to recruit if they can to bring back men. they need men. but more than that, it was to disrupt union of logistical support systems. the union army was being fed by a line of supply that began at louisville and extended down the railroad tracks through bowling green and then from bowling green to nashville, and that line of supply is what was keeping the union army but the call the army of the cumberland outside of nashville and at murfreesboro who was keeping alive, supplying it with horses and mules and fodder and subsistent stories and equipment and ordinance and what have you, and if the union army couldn't rely on the railroad to get the supplies to na

>> i was in tennessee last week. tennessee, like many states, dumb things down under no child left behind. it was very tight, very prescriptive. tennessee had the courage to raise standards. before they did, they told their students that they were reporting that 91% of their students were proficient in math. when they raised standards, that went to 34%. what does that mean? that means we are telling the truth. achievement gap became apparent as twice as large as people thought because the proficiency had been so low. under the current no child left behind law, tennessee would get penalized for doing the right thing. we actually want to reward states that are showing courage and raising the standards. >> what does tennessee have to do to provide political cover for someone like the tennessee secretary of education? >> i am trying to do it right here. i'm trying to knowledge governors in states that are showing courage, doing the right thing. the flip side is, when we see things doing things we do not like, we are goin

went back into tennessee for several weeks and re-entered kentucky. this time they went into butler county and what they did in butler county was drained by the green and deron rivers. they went up there to destroyed locks and dams on the green river. and to destroy whatever steamboat's they could find that were moving the supplies for the union army. it is interesting because in january, february and march of 1863 union army had ceased to rely on the lnn. the reason was john hunt morgan in late december had burned all the trestles of the railroad between louisville and elizabethtown. these were enormous trestles 800 feet long. each won 80-100 feet tall that went through the escarpment. between louisville and elizabethtown. it would take six months for the union army to rebuild those trestles. so it was shut down between louisville and bowling green. the traffic supply was coming up the green river to the bear river to bowling green and the union army was putting them on trains at bowling green and sending them to nashville. so the object here was to

this division of calvary he commanded in tennessee and kentucky. he was not one who followed the customary rules for the use of calvary. his men fought, dismounted, his men did not carry out the usual simple scouting operations of calvary that you would see jeff stewart do or union calvary commanders like john buford and others do. morgan, instead, used his command to make lightning like strikes into kentucky to disrupt union support systems. and even during the winter months he would send elements of them. how many of the elements went back into kentucky to do these kind of things we'll never know. but this gives you a glimpse of certainly one of them and how dramatic the operation was. as i stated, john porter after he was released from johnson island, came back to butler county. the way he got back to butler county though was a bizarre route. they released him, he was exchanged union forces exchanged him, and got union prisoners of war back. he was exchanged in richmond, virginia, and the day he was sent to -- that he got off of the boat on the

i know he was born in tennessee. killed a bash when he was three. and then i lose the trail. >> he was actually born in the state of franklin before tennessee became a state. and he had never killed a bear when he was only three but he was a professional bear hunter. one season he slew 105 black bears. >> so he was as much of a legend as he was, as much hyperbowl as was there, he actually was the real deal. >> he was the real deal. the truth is always better than fiction. and like so many of boomers, i grew up with the-- parker image of crockett. and it was entertaining and charming when you are nine. but it wasn't the real thing. crockett like so many figures from the west, others i have written about, pretty boy flied, billy the kid, jessy james, there's the real man and then there's the myth. so the two often collide and get together. and it happened definitely in crockett's own lifetime. >> that's what was so surprising is that i didn't realize that crockett in his lifetime was such a renowned figure and that he actually attended a play that was

the presiding officer: the senator from tennessee. mr. corker: i wanted to speak about the legislation that was just passed. for the last 14 months traveling the state in almost every nook and cranny have talked about the situation our country is, talking about, offered legislation, the only bipartisan, bicameral legislation offered up until this point to deal with our country's deficits and debts. i had hoped we'd figure out a way to deal with $5 trillion to $7 trillion worth of spending and/or savings over the next ten years, and finally decided that $4 trillion was the magic number. i know the markets had looked at that, the rating agencies had looked at that, the people who buy our treasuries had looked at that number. over the course of the last few weeks it became apparent $3 trillion was probably the most that was going to be achieved and now we've ended up with this bill that passed today and i supported, that hopes to achieve $2.1 trillion to $2.4 trillion in savings over the next decade. mr. president, obviously like many of us

the only member of the tennessee delegation the vote against it. -- to vote against it. and it cost him his job. jackson and the others found a candidate to run against him, and they took his seat. as crockett explained, he was beat by a one-legged man. but he also came up with his famous quote which he said many, many times: you all can go to hell, and i'm going to texas. [laughter] now, he didn't go down to texas out of a fit of some sort of patriotic honor or something for those rascals down there. anglos had been coming down into the republic of texas and settling with permission of the government for some years starting with moses austin. but then they kept coming. and they weren't always abiding by the laws. the laws meaning to speak the language -- spanish -- to join the mother church and eventually not bring slaves. slavery was abolished in mexico long before we got around to that. but these gentlemen and ladies largely southerners, a lot of land speculators and slave traders such as jim bowie kept bringing their slaves in. and this is what crockett faced when he

i don't think it's an issue in tennessee, so it probably won't happen. there are a number of disputes that go on regarding very technical things. there was one just resolved between maryland and virginia regarding the potomac river which theoretically is entirely part of maryland and up to the virginia shore, and virginia had intake pipe for their water, and whether or not they were taking water from maryland or not. so there are a number of things like that. yes, sir. >> either during or shortly after the civil war, supposedly there was a map done to redivide the confederate states to make them entirely new states, different borders. a friend of mine year ago said he saw that map. i've never been able to find it. have you heard this story? have you ever seen that map? >> never heard anything about it, but eu8 -- i'll google around. [laughter] i will tell you though where you can, i bet, get the answer. and i imagine there's some contact on e-mail or through the internet to do it, and that is the geography and map division of the library of congress. the

i think most folks are familiar with some of the parameters of scopes trial in tennessee in 1925. the issue was evolution. the lawyers were clarence dare row and william jennings bryan. william jennings bryant has a presidential candidate. he was a gifted orator, and he was a hero of the little people. they called him the great commoner. by the middle of the 1920s, he is in his 60s and has been relegated to an eye side role in democratic party politics and becomes the leader of this movement called fundamentalism, and the apex is when the big trial took place in tennessee, and of course william jennings bryan goes down the to work with the prosecution. a footnote to this is that one of the preachers, in fact the man probably most responsible for getting william jennings bryan to go to tennessee was j. frank norris, and one of the things bryan did before he died was write a hand written note to j. frank norris, thanking him for his help, his encouragement in going to the trial, and norris opened that handwritten over in after he had gotten the news that william jennings bryan tied,

that looks actually like tennessee. that's because this is tennessee. that's where gadhafi's nuclear program is. in 2003, libya allowed u.s. and u.n. and british officials to inspect ten previously illicit facilities. gadhafi becoming less of an international pir rye ya and western companies being able to do business in libya. but the cost to him is that his weapons facilities were not only inspected, the officials who did the inspecting left libya with 55,000 pounds of documents and nuclear components with the blueprints of a nuclear bomb with sent tri funlgs, thousands of them, with scud missiles and most importantly with highly-enriched uranium. gadhafi's entire nuclear program was moved, basically whole, to the oak ridge national laboratory in tennessee, with are we still have it. one thing gadhafi did not give up, however, was a bunch of raw uranium and chemical weapons. he did sign on to an agreement which forbids making or using chemical weapons but what about his existing stockpiles not yet destroyed? who guards them? quote, there are still some
