Hatchie Chapter DAR Donates Revolutionary War Books

The Hatchie Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), partnering with the Tennessee Society of the DAR (TSDAR) is excited to announce presentations of the newly published book Patriots to Pioneers: The First Tennessee Volunteers to Hardeman County Schools and Library. TSDAR members across Tennessee donated countless hours of research and volunteer work to produce a large volume of intimate stories tracing the journey of their ancestors from the US Revolutionary War through to the establishment of what we now call Tennessee.
