Edit Request: Tennessee official state books

Tennessee made the following ten books into official state books: 1. "Farewell Address to the American People," George Washington (1796) 2. "Democracy in America," Alexis de Tocqueville (1835 and 1840) 3. Aitken Bible (1782) 4. Papers of President Andrew Jackson 5. "Roots," Alex Haley (1977) 6. "A Death in the Family," James Agee (1958) 7. "All the King’s Men," Robert Penn Warren (1947) 8. "American Lion," Jon Meacham (2009) 9. "The Civil War: A Narrative," Shelby Foote (1958-1974) 10.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
