Description

President John F. Kennedy’s Would possibly 1963 consult with to Nashville bears eerie similarities to his fateful shuttle to Dallas later that year. He spoke at Vanderbilt University to celebrate its 90th anniversary and the Tennessee Valley Authority’s 30th anniversary. Nashville greeted the young president with grand enthusiasm, a warmth he returned by breaking from his security team time and again to shake hands with strangers. The Tennessean published Kennedy’s itinerary and parade route, among many other details of the occasion. Six months later, he used to be killed by a sniper in Dallas, who fired into his open car after the motorcade route used to be published. In hindsight, Kennedy’s peers say the shooting may just as easily have happened in Nashville. However the city used to be innocent of such worries on the time. This book includes The Tennessean’s recent coverage of JFK’s visits – in 1963 and in advance – exclusive photos and editorial cartoons, and recollections of the jubilant days when Camelot came to Nashville.
