Learn the secrets of Timothy Demonbreun, one of the city s first residents who lived with his family in a cliff-top cave; Cortelia Clark, the blind bluesman who continued to perform on street corners after winning a Grammy award; and Nashville s own Cinderella story, which involved legendary radio personality Edgar Bergen and his ventriloquist protege.

A tour of the Tennessee city filled with famous faces, fascinating trivia, and forgotten lore—plus a former mayor’s previously unpublished private papers.
