Once nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, Walker’s work remains (as noted in the New York Times Book Review, February 7, 1932) “an interesting and valuable addition not only to the local history of Tennessee and Georgia, but also the history of the American Indian and his relations with white civilization and government.”
Robert Sparks Walker was a Tennessean whose love of his native land inspired him to spend a lifetime in research and writing about its history and natural wonders. For eighty-two years he lived in the Chattanooga area, finding there an endless wellspring of material on which he based his long and respected career. Upon his death he was buried where he wished to be, his beloved Tennessee boyhood home on the Chickamauga.
