State History
 I've personally completed all the state history requirements as my children have now passed the age where they needed to study a state history course, and I spent countless hours putting together some interesting information about our state of Tennessee.
Now I see that I could have just used State History from a Christian Perspective and saved myself tons of prep time! Steve and Joy Dean from A Helping Hand have put together all the little pieces and parts that make learning about your state fun! They have all 50 states available now.

Tennessee Encyclopedia on-line!
"The Tennessee Encyclopedia of History and Culture is an amazing collaboration of almost 550 authors who have created the first updated, comprehensive study of Tennessee history since 1960. In the years since 1960 thousands of books, articles, theses, dissertations have been written about Tennessee history and culture; new research fields have been opened while others have been more fully explored; and new collections of primary sources have been discovered and stored away at an increasing number of archival collections, historic sites, museums, and research libraries across the state. As the bicentennial of 1996 approached, all of this new scholarship was ready to be mined, analyzed, and condensed into a single volume representing the present generation's summation of an entire century worth of research and historiography." visit Tennessee Encyclopedia.net
This sounds like a great resource for our Tennessee history classes!

Tennessee Blue Book
Here's what it says in the preface: "The Tennessee Blue Book is a publication which serves as a manual of useful information on our state and its government, both past and present. This edition contains information on the makeup of Tennessee state government. It also contains an expansive history section, the constitutions of the United States and Tennessee, the state's symbols and honors, the most recent election returns, and census information."
I found that you can view the entire "Tennessee Blue Book" online! They've made these files in pdf so you can read the entire book without borrowing it from the library. You can also go directly to what information you need about the state.
Check out the table of contents here and pick and choose what you want to read about first. The newest edition is 2007/2008, but it's still a great resource.
