Subject: Author Chris Evans discusses his book, South of the Mouth of Sandy

Description: Paris native Chris Evans' book about the old 23rd District (now the Tennessee National Wildlife Refuge) is a compelling history of the people who lived south of the Big Sandy River. Although beautiful, the 23rd District was insular and rough, and in some ways comparable to the Wild West. In this interview, Evans discusses his personal path to becoming an author of this regional history, the story of the Old 23rd, the writing process and more.
