See Rock City Barns: A Tennessee Tradition

See Rock City Barns: A Tennessee Tradition by Capps, Anita Armstrong. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780965481502.

Featuring 37 luminous sharp focus watercolor illustrations of the world famous See Rock City barns and accompanying text (written with empathy from the heart of a native Tennessee artist). This book is a touching; humorous and nostalgic narrative on the barns; their history and their owners. Original photographs from the archives of See Rock City, Inc. depict these icons of southern agriculture as they appeared when entrepreneur Garnet Carter first launched the barn painting advertising campaign that made the phrase "See Rock City" household words. These black and white images offer a fascinating contrast to the paintings of the barns as they appear today. Brimming with the flavor of Tennessee farm life and celebrating the Volunteer Spirit this book details an American dream come true in the success of rock City; reflects the past in interviews with the barn owners and looks forward to the future as the state hurtles into its third century.
