B. Carroll Reece Quotes

Brazilla Carroll Reece was an American politician from Tennessee. He served in the United States House of Representatives. Reece was born on a farm near Butler, Tennessee, one of thirteen children of John Isaac and Sarah Maples Reece.

After graduating from Carson Newman in 1914 as class valedictorian, he worked as a high school principal for one year, then enrolled in New York University, where he earned a master's degree in economics and finance in 1916.
