Rutherford Cty Courthouse on Murfreesboro Square

The Rutherford County Courthouse is one of only six remaining antebellum courthouses in the South and stands in the center of the Murfreesboro Square. Although the courthouse appears much larger, and more elegant from other views, this photo is notable as it contains the original well, about which the slaves would gather to exchange information on their way to and from their master's homes.

Joshua Tree, Lancaster, CA

In 1927, Frank Gumm moved his family to Lancaster, California, a small town situated on the desert just northeast of Los Angeles.  Joshua trees like this are a common sight there.

The former Baugh home in Murfreesboro

This home owned by Mary Ann Baugh and her husband, John, from 1868 to 1893, was the birthplace of their grandson, Frank Gum(m) and his place of residence for the first six years of his life.

Oaklands Mansion

This home, a historic Civil War landmark, was the home of George Darrow and wife Tempe Swope at the time when Mr. Darrow sent Frank Gumm to Sewanee. Frank would attend the grammar school and then the college for a total of six years.

Please note: Although over 100 potential photos have been collected for the book (including many historical and unpublished family photos) we are unable to post any of these prior to the publication of the book.
