Tennessee State Naturalist Emeritus Mack Prichard reviews the new MackPrichard.org website, which chronicles his presentations, photos and writings. {Photo Provided}
By Susan Campbell | Contributing Writer
STATE NEWS — The Friends of South Cumberland (FSC) recently launched a new website that chronicles and celebrates the work of Tennessee State Naturalist Emeritus Mack Prichard.
MackPrichard.org is a free website that serves as a repository for Prichard’s decades of work with the state, including his presentations, photos and writings. The website has been designed to assist environmental education in the state.
In 2014, the FSC began working with Prichard to preserve part of his vast collection of photographs taken during his nearly five decade career with the State of Tennessee, according to FSC’s Rick Dreves. More than 5,000 photographs, more than a dozen videos of Prichard’s presentations, and additional digitized materials are now online, chronicling the evolution of environmental protection across the state, and showing many places and events that led to the creation of new state natural areas and state parks.
“The objective of the project was to share Prichard’s experiences and knowledge online, both as a record of his work, and to inspire and inform environmental educators, researchers and the broader public,” Dreves said.
The project gained momentum when the FSC received a grant from the Tennessee Federation of Garden Clubs (TFGC) to support the purchase of scanning equipment, data storage, web services and, most recently, funding for a student assistant to help accelerate the scanning of slide images from Prichard’s collection.
“Work to augment the online resources will be ongoing, as both Prichard’s archives and knowledge are deep and of great value to environmental education in Tennessee,” Dreves said.
Prichard has had a long association with both organizations. He was instrumental in persuading then-governor Winfield Dunn to advocate for creation of South Cumberland State Park in 1978, and for the establishment of FSC in the 1990s. For years, Prichard was a speaker at TFGC’s summer camp sessions, showing slides and speaking about conservation topics from across the state. The TFGC gave Mack the nickname, “Mr. Conservation,” and established its Conservation Education Fund to help preserve his collection.
The FSC is coordinating efforts with a parallel effort being undertaken in Nashville, where the Friends of Tennessee State Parks (FTSP) have provided a separate grant to scan other slides from Prichard’s collection. FSC hopes to add those images to the new website, when they become available.

Nashville — Over two days in 2010, record-breaking amounts of rainfall fell across Middle Tennessee. The already swollen Cumberland River eventually crested almost 12 feet above flood stage, while smaller tributaries also flooded. That water poured from its banks into the homes and businesses of downtown Nashville including placed like the iconic Grand Ole Opry, the Opryland Hotel, and the Schermerhorn Symphony Center. Over 25 people died in the region and including 11 in Nashville.
It rattled the lives of untold numbers of people and brought a community together. On January 10, The Frist Museum in Nashville opened The Nashville Flood: Ten Years Later, an exhibit of photographs and oral histories from ten different Nashville neighborhoods including Antioch, Belle Meade, Bellevue, Bordeaux, and others, in addition to downtown. The majority of the items for the exhibit come from the Nashville Public Library and The Tennessean. An interactive monitor also illustrates the long-term impact of the flood by pairing photographs from 2010 with ones from 2020.
The exhibit will remain on display through May 17 in the Conte Community Arts Gallery. For more information, visit The Frist website. •

Whiskey expert Fred Minnick chose Uncle Nearest 1820 Single Barrel as one of his Top 5 Whiskeys of 2019 during his recent reveal live stream. {Photo Courtesy of Nearest Green Distillery}
When globally recognized whiskey critic, Fred Minnick, unveils his yearly Top American Whiskeys picks … industry folks and the general public tend to pay attention. He’s a Wall Street Journal best-selling author and whiskey reviewer known for his exquisite palate. So when, during his annual live stream, he blind tasted 35 whiskeys and chose Uncle Nearest’s 1820 Single Barrel Whiskey his third top pick … well, glasses were raised in Shelbyville.
After he’d revealed his pick, even Minnick himself seemed surprised stating, “That is kind of an upset … It’s a whiskey out of Tennessee and they are absolutely pushing the needle…”
1820 Single Barrel was the only non-Kentucky whiskey among the select group, surprising a lot of industry insiders who’ve long sworn that the best whiskeys hail from the Bluegrass State.
It’s one of several awards.
Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey spent the entire year of 2019 quietly racking up top awards in spirit competitions and industry publications around the globe, including 10 Best in Class and Best in Show, and 25 Platinum, Double Gold and Gold medals. Jim Murray’s Whiskey Bible rated 1820 Single Barrel Whiskey a 94.5, the highest score for a Tennessee whiskey or bourbon. He is joined by the more than 10 other industry leaders who rated Uncle Nearest’s three labels – 1856 Premium Aged Whiskey, 1820 Single Barrel Whiskey and 1884 Small Batch Whiskey – between 90-96, with an overall industry-wide rating of 92.6.
For the third year in a row, Cigar & Spirits Magazine named Uncle Nearest its No. 1 whiskey from Tennessee, awarding the brand a Double Gold medal for its 1856 Premium Aged Whiskey, a Double Gold medal for its 1820 Single Barrel and a Gold medal for its 1884 Small Batch expression. The Ultimate Spirits Challenge awarded the brand a Chairman’s Trophy, its highest honor.
At the New Orleans World Bourbon Festival, in a room full of the most elite American whiskey brands, Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey was crowned Best American Whiskey. The World Whiskies Awards hosted by Whisky Magazine named the brand an Icon of Whisky, bestowing its highest honor of World’s Best (a title it shared with a top Kentucky Bourbon).
The SIP Awards, the only internationally recognized consumer judging spirits competition, handed Uncle Nearest two Double Gold medals, a Best in Class award, a Gold medal and a Consumers’ Choice award. At the China Wine & Spirits Awards, 1884 Small Batch Whiskey took home a Double Gold medal making it the Top American Whiskey at the biggest and most prestigious wine and spirits competition in China. Uncle Nearest 1884 also took home a Double Gold medal at the 2019 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition hosted by Robert Whitley. For the North American Whiskey Tasting, powered by the Beverage Testing Institute, Uncle Nearest 1856 took home a Platinum medal, the competition’s biggest award.
“When my great-great-grandfather, Nearest Green, was alive, his whiskey was known to be the best,” said Victoria Eady Butler, master blender for Uncle Nearest. “We know this because in all the Nashville papers, the distributors would discount every whiskey from Tennessee and Kentucky on Fridays to drum up business. The only whiskey that was never discounted, and I mean never from what we have found, was the whiskey my great-great-grandfather was making.” •

Elizabeth Millsap’s heirloom stocking hangs in her Nashville home. It’s one of 65 handmade by Ann Millsaps and her daughter, Gina, from the quilts of Mary High Prince. {Photo Provided}
They’re made from quilts loving pieced together by her great-great-grandmother, Mary High Prince, and now, they hang on the stairway at the front entrance of her Nashville home. To Lynchburg native, Elizabeth Millsaps, and her daughter Ella Clare Merkel, they contain history and love and family … all sewn into a single heirloom … a handmade Christmas stocking.
They are a reminder of the way life used to be for most folks in Moore County and a nudge to always be grateful. The life Elizabeth and her daughter enjoy now is very different from the childhood her father, Joe, lived then.
“My dad was in elementary school before they got electricity in their homes,” Elizabeth says. “It’s astonishing to me when he talks about his childhood that electricity, which we so readily take for granted, is that new as part of our world.”
Elizabeth left Lynchburg in 1992 to attend Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro. She and her daughter, Ella Clare, now live in Nashville, where Elizabeth works as a lobbyist at Millsaps Gowan Government Relation, her own firm.
Her father, Joe, lived in a three room house in the Charity community with his parents and siblings. As was the norm in those days, all three siblings (Joe, Baxter, and Barbara) all slept in the same room. During the winter, Joe’s dad heated the home with a wood stove that sometimes burned out in the middle of the night. To keep warm, everyone slept under stacks of handmade quilts they kept in the closet.

Elizabeth says her father’s great grandmother worked as a well-known seamstress in Moore County with a reputation for fine handwork, but especially embroidery. In 1930, she died at the age of 90, when Joe was just six weeks old. The quilts Mary High Prince handmade stayed in the family – getting handed down from one generation to another as heirlooms.
Then in 2000, Joe’s wife, Ann, and their daughter, Gina, decided to pass some of the quilts down in a different way. As they sorted through them, several were too tattered and worn to repair. And so, they devised a plan to gently cut them into enough squares to make 65 stockings for relatives.
“They spent a day planning how to cut them, and then two more days cutting, pressing and sewing them together,” says Elizabeth. “Each of my dad’s siblings gift for Christmas that year that was enough stockings for their children and grandchildren.”
Millsaps says that her mother and sister added a lace cuff to all the girl’s stockings made from the lace trim of old, vintage sheets they found stored with the quilts.
“My mother found a trash bag of old sheets in the attic and took all of the handmade lace trim from the pillow cases and soaked them for days to get them white again. She then cut off that trim to make a pretty cuff for each stocking,” she says.
Today those stocking sit spread across the country in the homes of the descendants of Mary High Prince filled with Christmas goodies and reminding all of us of the true meaning of Christmas … family. •
Voices of Camp Forrest in World War II is available locally at Couch’s in Tullahoma.
By Tabitha Evans Moore, Editor & Publisher
It once included 1,300 buildings, 55 miles of roads, five miles of railroad tracks, and existed as a self-sustaining city of over 70,000 soldiers and another 12,000 civilians. Today, only a few overgrown concrete foundations remain. Originally built in 1926 near Tullahoma as a National Guard Camp, Camp Forrest served as a crucial induction and training site during World War II.
This is the subject of Dr. Elizabeth Taylor’s newest book, Voices of Camp Forrest in World War II (The History Press, $23.99). She interviewed many who lived, worked, trained and grew up there in addition to newspaper articles from the time, and personal diaries to tell the story. The Lynchburg Times recently caught up with the author to discuss her book with deep southern, middle Tennessee roots.
“I am not from Tenneesee but my interest in Camp Forrest evolved after researching the POWs who were housed there in WWII,” Dr. Taylor said.
It’s a little known fact that Camp Forrest served as a prisoner of war facility during WWII, which held prisoners of German, Japanese, and Italian descent. Prisoners worked on local farms, hospitals, and within the community. It was the first civilian internment camp in the nation at the time.
Voices of Camp Forrest in World War II covers topics such as the impact of Pearl Harbor on civilians and military personnel in the Middle Tennessee area, the construction of Camp Forrest, living and working at and around a city sized military installation as well as the effects of housing German prisoners of war throughout the area and the decommissioning of the base after the war.
Barracks at the Camp Forrest {Historic Photo}
In its heyday, Camp Forrest covered nearly 85,000 acres on land that now serves as the footprint of Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC). It housed service clubs, guest houses, a library, post exchanges, a post office, hospital, chapel, a movie theater, and barracks. Major General George Patton once brought his famed 2nd Armored Division from Fort Benning, to practice maneuvers at Camp Forrest. It’s estimated that its mere existence increased the size of Tullahoma by as much as 40 percent.
One of the interesting aspects of the book is the way it explores the many ways Camp Forrest is still with us today.
“Camp Forrest is still very much with us today,” says Dr. Taylor. “When the base was decommissioned, everything was auctioned off … from buildings and autos to cooking supplies and lighting fixtures. Many individuals have told me stories how their family members obtained lumber from the Camp Forrest buildings and used it to build homes and barns. Many of the chapels on base were purchased by local congregations and are still in use today. Much of the 55 miles of roads of Camp Forrest still exist on the old base grounds, but many of the foundations and chimneys are slowly weathering away.”
Dr. Taylor says Tullahoma served as the perfect topographical spot for constructing a military base at that time because the terrain so closely mirrored the European front. It was also helpful that it already hosted a military installation, Camp Peay, the predecessor to Camp Forrest.
But as much positive impact as Camp Forrest brought there were downsides too. Much of the land on which it was built was confiscated by the federal government, leaving many rural farmers displaced. Families who’d farmed the same piece of land for generations suddenly found themselves homeless with little or no compensation.
Then there were the war games.
“The war games simulated the all of the conditions (sights, sounds, and smells) soldiers would face overseas,” said Dr. Taylor. “Tanks did not simply roll down the highways, but rather went through fields and pastures as necessary. It did not matter if a fence was in the way; it become a casualty of the war. In addition to property damage, often times farm animals were affected. For example, hens stopped laying eggs due to the simulated war occurring around them.”
The book mentions many familiar names. It features photos of historic downtown Tullahoma as it existed then and mentions specifically businesses like Clayton’s Shoes and Couch’s Photography, which still exist today. Dr. Taylor also interviewed former Lynchburg resident, Johnny Majors for the book.
“While he did not remember the broadcast about Pearl Harbor, as he was only six years old, Johnny Majors learned about the D-Day invasion listening to the radio with his grandmother, Bessie Bobo,” the book states.
It also talks about Shirley Majors, who worked as a barber in Lynchburg and Tullahoma at the time, playing sports and officiated sporting event at Camp Forrest in his spare time.
After D-Day in June 1944, training drastically reduced at Camp Forrest. After the war was over, the U.S. government declared Camp Forrest surplus property and close it. After the close, instead of returning ownership of land back to local farmers, the site was selected for a new Air Force Base. In 1951, President Truman renamed the area Arnold Engineering Development Center after Air Force General Henry H. “Hap” Arnold.
Voices of Camp Forrest in World War II is available locally at Couch’s in historic downtown Tullahoma as well as online retailers. For more information about Camp Forrest, check out the Camp Forrest website that Dr. Taylor maintains. •

Newspaper clippings like this one are part of Motlow College’s new digital archive project. {Photo Provided}
LOCAL NEWS — It all started when Motlow State staff started gathering historic items for their 50th anniversary.
“When we saw the content, we knew these artifacts needed to be featured as one of our celebrated 50th anniversary milestones,” said Terri Bryson, Vice President of External Affairs. “This has been a real labor of love for our library staff. They have worked hard curating and digitizing huge portions of the college’s archival material. It’s important to note, though, this collection exists as a testimony of the faithfullness shared by 50 years of devoted historians and librarians.”
That faithfullness led to a digital archive project that will preserve these one-of-a-kind documents, many which are rapidly deteriorating, for years to come. Motlow staff will unveil the project on Friday, December 13 at the Clayton-Glass Library on the Moore County campus from 8-10 a.m. The event will offer a sneak preview of the gallery before the digital site goes live on Christmas Eve.
The project’s already helping students, the college says.
“As new students become aware of the site, they learn more about the creation and presentation of recent historical events, particularly regional events that influence their lives today. As historians assert, learning about the past informs the present.”
The resource will also serve as wonderful collection of primary source documents related to the college and the areas that surround each campus.
It’s been designed with our new social lives in mind. A social media plug-in within the digital archives allows user to share items directly that have rarely been seen outside the library walls. An additional Google analytics plug-in also allow Motlow to monitor the sites traffic and user statistics, which will help them as they build future digital platforms.
“Our hope is that easy access to this collection of memorable content will help alumni reconnect with their alma mater and become champions for our next 50 years,” said Motlow’s Director of Libraries Chris Bryant.
The Motlow Library Digital Archive will go live Dec. 24 as a special holiday gift to the college’s social media followers. For more information and to RSVP for the event, visit motlow.com/digitalarchive … on Twitter and Instagram, follow @MotlowState … on Facebook, follow @MotlowStateCC.•
