Yorks New Battle to Build Mountain School
Alvin Cullom York returns to Pall Mall Tennessee with a mission to fund and open a mountain school. A Tennessee board clash delayed work but Governor Peay pledged support and a new Board of Governors will push the plan funded by 1100000 dollars raised from county, state, and York tours. York, famed for his Argonne exploits, champions education for Cumberland and Appalachian children and vows to finish the project despite opposition from Jamestown business circles.
