Book Description
This book was written to help educate the citizens of Maryville/Ashleyville and the world about the historic Town of Maryville, 1886-1936, with emphasis on the connection to the founding of Charleston, South Carolina in 1670. It also describes two extraordinary women, one white, Mary Richardson Moses Bowen Taft, who provided the land for what became the town, and one African American, Mary Matthews Just, who became the soul of the Town. The results of these two women from different levels of society efforts was the creation of an independent town in the era of Jim Crow. Hopefully, this work will demonstrate how ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things.

Book Description
Maryville was incorporated as a city on July 11, 1795, by a single territorial legislative act that also created Blount County. Maryville, the Blount County seat, was named for Mary Grainger Blount, wife of territorial governor William Blount. The 50-acre site adjoining Capt. John Craig's fort was donated by Craig for the founding of the town, and a seven-man commission laid out 120 lots to be sold to raise funds for building a courthouse, prison, and stocks for the county. This book shares Maryville's rich history from its humble beginnings in the shadow of the Great Smoky Mountains to the turmoil of the Civil War and the changing face of the landscape throughout the 20th century. The images, many of them previously unpublished, were provided by local individuals, Maryville city government and schools, Maryville College, the Blount County Public Library, and the Daily Times newspaper.
