Nashville, Tennessee, riverboat captain Tom Ryman is perhaps best known for the famed Ryman Auditorium that bears his name. His descendant, Charmaine Gossett, discards myths and tells the true story of one of Nashville’s most notable, respected citizens. Gossett documents Ryman’s early life, his religious conversion, and his dedication to the Union Gospel Tabernacle as a gathering place to hear the Gospel. Gossett also discusses Ryman’s arrest by Union soldiers and the shooting on board the Jo Horton Fall that resulted in the death of his eldest son. Includes genealogical charts of Ryman’s descendants.
