The LIFE of JOHN H. SAVAGE
|
The Life of John H. Savage, originally published in 1903, has been
reprinted by Chris Keathley and Monty Wanamaker. The story of the
acquisition of the original book and the subsequent reprinting is
another story by itself. A limited edition of 250 copies, it
contains more than the original autobiography. There is an
introduction, additional biographical data, his obituaries and
salutations to his worth to the county. "The Old Man of the Mountains,"
John H. Savage was, as quoted from the local paper of the times,
". . . a man whose services to his country in war, politics, and
as a citizen, were of such great magnitude." Keathley and Wanamaker introduced their reprint to the public in May to commemorate Savage's death, April 5, 1904, and the 19 May, 1904, unveiling of the Memorial Monument he had commissioned to be erected in honor of the members of his 16th Infantry who died in service to the Confederate States of America. This monument stands in the courthouse yard in McMinnville today. The monument can be seen with the names and additional information on the Warren County website. ... $27.00 ppd. or $25.00 picked up.
