A profile of the Tennessee serviceman of World War I.
No full textApproximately 80,000 Tennesseans served their country during World War I and of that number 4,000 made the ultimate sacrifice. This dissertation is a study of the social background of these men and their military experiences during America's participating in this conflict. Although little is known about these young men, they shared the same sense of duty to their country as the heroes who received the public accolades. They responded to the call of duty that took them away from small towns and farms in Tennessee to participate in the first world war of the twentieth century. The purpose of this study is to compare their experiences and backgrounds with those of soldiers from throughout the country.The most valuable primary resource, and that which provided most of the information relative to this study, was Record Group 53, the Gold Star Records of the Tennessee State Library and Archives. This material consists of approximately 1,523 files of Tennessee servicemen, most of whom were casualties of the War. A second major source used was Fred Baldwin's 1964 dissertation completed at Princeton, entitled "The American Enlisted Man in World War I." The experiences and socio-economic background of Tennesseans gleaned from the Gold Star Records were compared with Baldwin's findings about American soldiers in general during the War. In addition, other traditional resources relative to this study were used.The major findings of the dissertation reveal that the primary difference in servicemen from Tennessee and those from other states was the contrast in their socio-economic backgrounds. Those from Tennessee were generally poorer, not as well educated and a larger percentage of them were farmers and blacks. At this point, the differences end. Most soldiers from all over the country shared the same experiences in the military both at home and abroad. They generally believed in the cause for which they were fighting; they believed that an Allied victory was necessary to protect the innocent people of Europe and their own homeland from the evils of German militarism.D.A

City Managers, Mayors, and Councilmembers: Local Government Stability in Tennessee
No full textCity government in Tennessee at the highest levels consists of numerous Mayors, Councilmembers, Aldermen and Commissioners who are elected by the citizenry as the governing body of their communities. These elected officials, in almost every instance, have an administrator that is charged with conducting the affairs of the local government, providing oversight and efficient execution of these elected official’s goals. Since the formation of Tennessee communities, the elected body has planned and accomplished community building tasks. In the Progressive era of the 1910s, the development of professional local government managers began their arrival in Tennessee cities. Since that time, roles and responsibilities have been established by city charters, state laws and experience.Today’s modern communities are challenged by an ever changing environment which raises questions of whether elected officials and appointed city administrators and city managers are changing too. Limited academic study has occurred on small cities across the United States as impacted by their officials. The interaction between elected officials and their administrative managers play an integral part for the success and viability of their communities.Utilizing a detailed survey of Tennessee city managers and elected officials, this study identifies key findings of stability and change among the positions. The study identifies a strong reliance upon city manager, councilmembers and mayoral roles, skills and characteristics for creating success in Tennessee cities. The survey explores various statistically significant aspects of these official groups and organizes their work relationships with respect to the four dimensions of government of Mission, Policy, Administration and Management. The findings confirm that roles of these elected and appointed officials of smaller Tennessee cities do not vary from their responsibilities in most instances, neither do they encroach on the established roles of city managers, mayors and councilmembers
An analysis of competition and distribution in the Tennessee structural composite market
No full textThe Tennessee hardwood timber resource has opportunity for increased use. Establishment of a structural composite panel plant in Tennessee would provide new markets for Tennessee hardwoods. The purpose of this study is to begin a Market Opportunity Analysis (MOA) to assess the opportunity of success for a structural composite panel plant in Tennessee. A channel and competition analysis were the two parts of a MOA completed for this study. The market share of structural composite panels at the retail and intermediary level of the Tennessee market is approximately 31 percent. A majority of the panels produced and distributed to the Tennessee market were in the 7/16 thickness category. Nineteen manufacturers sold panels in Tennessee markets. Of the structural composite panels produced 75.9 percent were Oriented Strandboard (OSB) and the remainder (24.1 percent) waferboard. Rail is the major mode of transport manufacturers use to ship structural composite panels (58.2 percent), and a majority of panels (63.1 percent) are shipped to intermediaries via the same mode. However 94.3% of retailers receive their panels via truck. As the go-between for manufacturers and retailers, intermediaries perform two important functions in the channel: 1) facilitate the transport of structural composite panels and 2) reduce bulk loads from manufacturers into smaller shipment for distribution to retailers (break-bulk). It is concluded that the marketing scheme of a potential Tennessee manufacturer should target intermediaries. Very few panels are shipped directly from manufacturers to consumers. Most panels (89.9%) are shipped to intermediaries for distribution
Assessing the Impact of the Tennessee Equine Industry
No full textThe Tennessee equine industry is alive and prevalent across the entire state. However, due to the expansiveness of the industry, lack of consistent record keeping, and large discrepancies among reporting agencies, it has proven to be difficult to accurately account for the total impact of the industry in terms of population, demographics, and overall economic impact. The objective of this study was to 1) determine population demographics and economic impact of the equine industry in Tennessee and 2) determine the public perception on the addition of live equine racing within the state. An anonymous, online assessment was developed (March-August 2022; Qualtrics, Provo, UT) to determine individual industry involvement, where respondents reported information based on ownership expenditures, business services, and overall financial activity. Data was analyzed for descriptive statistics using the means and frequency procedures in SAS 9.4 (Cary, NC). Economic modeling was performed using economic Impact Analysis for Planning (IMPLAN), an input-output model, to analyze the data to estimate the total (multiplier-based) economic contribution of the industry. Of the 2,009 respondents, 91% (n=1,830) were equine owners or leasers that identified 8,235 equids. Utilizing response results with previously estimated equid populations of 104,827 from the 2017 USDA Census, 165,800 from the American Horse Council, and population trend lines over time, an overall population of 140,000 equids was determined for Tennessee in 2021. Overall, ownership costs per equid was estimated to be 1.805 billion in total economic activity, 33,345 jobs, and $1.032 billion in gross state product. The equine industry has the opportunity for substantial growth and development in the coming years, including expansion of jobs, available services, and overall industry growth
The Tennessee Beef Performance Testing Program in Robertson County
No full text(From Introduction)
A program for the performance testing of beef cattle in Tennessee was instigated in 1956 by the Extension Animal Husbandry Department and the Animal Husbandry-Veterinary Science Department of The University of Tennessee. In various meetings over the state with the extension personnel, the members of the Robertson County Livestock Association and the Agriculture Extension Agent in Robertson County became interested in this production testing program. Since Robertson County is a growing beef cattle county, performance testing beef herds in the county to determine the rate of gain and the quality of calves that were produced seemed advisable. In 1958 the Assistant County Agent set up four demonstration herds in the county and started the production testing program. These herds were Hereford, Shorthorn Hereford crosses, and Angus and were both registered and commercial herds. This study is a summary of the results of performance testing procedure for three years in these four herds
