Perry, Jennings | August 10, 1946 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information about the revolt that took place in McMinn county, Tennessee. It was a popular revolt against tyranny which is already being described in Tennessee as "another Boston Tea Party." It was an armed revolt and entirely successful. It smashed to smithereens one of the most arrant political machines of the state and rattled the teeth of every boss in the vicious ring which, under the domination of politician Boss Crump of Memphis, has fixed an iron grip upon Tennessee. The revolt was led by young men freshly back from wars.
