The Read20 selection for December is Tennessee Trailblazers by Fredrick McKissack and Patricia McKissack. Tennessee history is made real as Tennessee Trailblazers recounts the lives of four outstanding Tennesseans—pioneer Thomas Sharpe "Big Foot" Spencer, Cherokee leader Nanye-hi, also known as Nancy Ward, singer and pianist Ella Sheppard of the Fisk Jubilee Singers, and statesman Cordell Hull. Drawn from different historical periods and ethnic groups, four interesting lives capture many episodes in Tennessee history.
