- What readers are saying:
- At a time of questions about the media,
it is refreshing to read of an enterprising woman, who worked
her way from getting in the door to being a model for uncovering
facts and was a great storyteller. Tyler Boyd captures those
moments and more in Nellie Kenyon.
- Tom Griscom, former
editor and publisher, Chattanooga
Times Free Press
- Who doesn’t love a story that connects
local, regional and national history? As someone who values history
and the stories of remarkable players in our historical heritage,
I urge you to read Tyler Boyd’s latest work, Nellie Kenyon.
I suggest you grab a copy and settle down in your favorite comfortable
chair, and be prepared to read from beginning to end. It’s
that good. It’s that insightful. You’re going to love
Nellie and her truly exceptional journalistic career. Yea, Nellie!
- Linda Moss Mines, Hamilton
County Historian
- A great history of a five-foot-tall female
journalist pioneer who was a giant in the newspaper industry.
She covered many landmark cases including Scopes to Hoffa throughout
the legal history of Tennessee. Her interview of convicted gangster
Al Capone at the Chattanooga Terminal Railway Station on his
way to the Atlanta Penitentiary to serve his sentence for income
tax evasion is a classic example of tenacious work and creativity
by a reporter.
- Jerry Summers, author
and attorney
- In Nellie Kenyon, Tyler Boyd brings
us another fascinating subject. Pioneering journalist and sometime
detective, Kenyon broke some of the biggest news of
the day, from woman suffrage and the Scopes Trial to black market
adoption and desegregation. Alice Milton called her “the
best bird dog in the pack so far as news gathering.”
- Ann Toplovich, former
executive director, Tennessee Historical Society
