She left the classroom in 1992 and earned an MA in History from Florida Atlantic University. After serving three years as the Director of Education at the Ft. Lauderdale Historical Society, Ruth and her husband re-located to Greeneville, Tennnessee. Shortly after arriving, she was able to secure a position as an Adjunct Professor of History at Tusculum College, founded in 1794, and considered to be the oldest college west of the Appalachians.
Greeneville, Tennessee, is not only located in one of the most picturesque places in America, it is also a place of historic significance. It was the capital of the Lost State of Franklin, birthplace of Davy Crockett, home of President Andrew Johnson, and a Unionist stronghold in Confederate Tennessee.
David and Ruth Kross joined Meadow Creek Presbyterian Church in 2000 and made many new friends. Ruth then used her training as a teacher and historian to research and write the history of this little country church. The purpose of this book is to show how God worked through ordinary men and women to maintain His presence, and work out His purposes in this wonderful place.view less
