Martha Ingram writes a good book. I live forward to her book about forming the Tennessee Performing Arts Commission. She does a great job laying out the history of the Ingram fortune. They are such big players in the world of Tennessee, a business person needs to know where they are coming from.

From the start in timber, to a fortune in oil derived with Koch family, to the world largest barge company, to a brother sentenced for bribes, to a fortune in books and computer software. The family history is quite entertaining.
