 The Convention was covered in greater detail in Humes's "Loyal Mountaineers of Tennessee" (1888).Oliver Perry Temple, who had been an integral figure at the Convention and had possession of Secretary John Fleming's minutes, gave an extensive description of the Convention in his book, "East Tennessee and the Civil War" (1898), and provided biographies of several Convention delegates in "Notable Men of Tennessee" (1912).Charles F. Bryan, Jr., provided a modern analysis of the Convention in his article, "A Gathering of Tories," which appeared in "Tennessee Historical Quarterly" in 1980.
