I really enjoyed this history of Tennessee's United States Senators...when I read it many years ago. I just finished _The_Most_Exclusive_Club_, which reminded me of this book. I remember it being really rather good...but, uhh, it is really rather limited...U.S. Senators from Tennessee from 1911-2001 says it all...
