Songs and Stories from Tennessee by John Trotwood Moore

John Trotwood Moore

1858-1929

John Trotwood Moore, from Marion, Alabama, pursued a legal education but never practiced law. After teaching for several years, he settled in Columbia, Tennessee, where he engaged in farming and livestock activities while contributing columns to local and national publications. Moore's literary career gained momentum with the publication of his novel A Summer Hymnal in 1901, followed by the establishment of his magazine, Trotwood Monthly, in 1905. Despite a temporary setback caused by a riding accident, Moore persevered as a writer and later served as the State Librarian for Tennessee.
