The East Tennessee resorts covered in this thesis indicate that the region as a whole was emblematic of national socioeconomic and cultural trends. 2004-12-18T08:00:00Z text application/pdf https://dc.etsu.edu/etd/961 https://dc.etsu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2118&context=etd Copyright by the authors.
