Book Description
Excerpt from Biographic Etchings of Ministers and Laymen of the Georgia Conferences In the preparation of these character sketches we decided to eliminate the usual obituary features. For several of the best of these papers I am indebted to the kindness of my ministerial brethren. Dr. Hinton's sketch of President Bass, Dr. Mixon's sketch of Dr. Anderson, Dr. Heidt's sketch of Josiah Lewis, Sr., Dr. Cook's sketch of President Ellison, Dr. Glenn's sketch of Dr. Potter, Gen. Evans' sketch of Benjamin Harvey Hill, Dr. Christian's sketch of Dr. Clark, are one and all admirable papers, which contribute greatly to the interest of the volume. Without their timely assistance I hardly see how I could have accomplished my work. God bless them abundantly for their "labor of love." I may say quite as much of that beautiful sketch of my dear old friend, Walter R. Branham, written by a committee consisting of Bros. M. S. Williams, H. H. Parks and W. D. Shea.

Book Description
Published in 1965, this biography of Atticus Green Haygood (1839–1896) reveals a man whose personal faith led him to become one of the foremost southern advocates of liberal racial policies. Born in rural northeast Georgia, Haygood attended Emory College at Oxford and went on to lead a distinguished career in the Methodist church, reforming church government, writing tracts on missionary work, and eventually serving as Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Haygood received national recognition for his work as an agent for the Slater Fund, an organization dedicated to supporting education for blacks, and for his controversial book Our Brother in Black, which outlined his views on racial issues. From 1875 to 1884 he served as president of Emory College where he continued his efforts of social reform.
Atlanta and Environs
Author: Franklin M. GarrettPublisher: University of Georgia Press
ISBN: 0820331287
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 1081
Book Description
Atlanta and Environs is, in every way, an exhaustive history of the Atlanta Area from the time of its settlement in the 1820s through the 1970s. Volumes I and II, together more than two thousand pages in length, represent a quarter century of research by their author, Franklin M. Garrett—a man called “a walking encyclopedia on Atlanta history” by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. With the publication of Volume III, by Harold H. Martin, this chronicle of the South’s most vibrant city incorporates the spectacular growth and enterprise that have characterized Atlanta in recent decades. The work is arranged chronologically, with a section devoted to each decade, a chapter to each year. Volume I covers the history of Atlanta and its people up to 1880—ranging from the city’s founding as “Terminus” through its Civil War destruction and subsequent phoenixlike rebirth. Volume II details Atlanta’s development from 1880 through the 1930s—including occurrences of such diversity as the development of the Coca-Cola Company and the Atlanta premiere of Gone with the Wind. Taking up the city’s fortunes in the 1940s, Volume III spans the years of Atlanta’s greatest growth. Tracing the rise of new building on the downtown skyline and the construction of Hartsfield International Airport on the city’s perimeter, covering the politics at City Hall and the box scores of Atlanta’s new baseball team, recounting the changing terms of race relations and the city’s growing support of the arts, the last volume of Atlanta and Environs documents the maturation of the South’s preeminent city.
