Stewart became a member of the firm, the style of which was then changed to J. H. Almand Son & Company. In a few years this enterprise had taken leading rank among the merchandise stores of Rockdale County. Mr. Almand was in active business as a merchant for more than twenty years. In September, 1892, he established the first bank at Conyers, a private institution, established more as a convenience to the customers and friends of Mr. Almand than with a view of profit. The bank continued in a flourishing condition, and in 1901 a state charter was taken out, and it has since been known as the Bank of Rockdale. Under the charter it started with a capital of $25,000, and in 1905 the capital stock was increased from the earnings of the bank to $50,000, besides a good surplus of undivided profits. The first president was John H. Almand. On the 11th of January, 1916, Mr. Almand retired from the banking business, after over twenty-three years spent in its service. Probably of still more importance than this bank has been Mr. Almand's enterprise in connection with the Millstead Manufacturing Company of Conyers. He was one of the organizers and is one of the largest stockholders and a director in this company, which was incorporated in 1908 with a capital stock of $250,000. The capital has since been increased with the rapid growth of the business. The facilities of the company are employed for the manufacture of heavy duck cloth. A splendid modern factory was erected at the outskirts of Conyers, and at the present time its equipment comprises 10,000 spindles and 104 duck looms. The product is heavy duck, in varying widths to six feet or more, and about 1,000 individuals find employment and depend upon this business for their livelihood. The...

  • ISBN : 1611686229
  • Pages : 929 pages

Download or read book States at War Volume 4 written by Richard F. Miller and published by University Press of New England. This book was released on 2015-02-03 with total page 929 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While many Civil War reference books exist, there is no single compendium that contains important details about the combatant states (and territories) that Civil War researchers can readily access for their work. People looking for information about the organizations, activities, economies, demographics, and prominent personalities of Civil War States and state governments must assemble data from a variety of sources, with many key sources remaining unavailable online. This crucial reference book, the fourth in the States at War series, provides vital information on the organization, activities, economies, demographics, and prominent personalities of Delaware, Maryland, and New Jersey during the Civil War. Its principal sources include the Official Records, state adjutant-general reports, legislative journals, state and federal legislation, federal and state executive speeches and proclamations, and the general and special orders issued by the military authorities of both governments, North and South. Designed and organized for easy use by professional historians and amateurs, this book can be read in two ways: by individual state, with each chapter offering a stand-alone history of an individual stateÕs war years; or across states, comparing reactions to the same event or solutions to the same problems.

Book Dark Places of the Earth  The Voyage of the Slave Ship Antelope

Download or read book Dark Places of the Earth The Voyage of the Slave Ship Antelope written by Jonathan M. Bryant and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist in History A dramatic work of historical detection illuminating one of the most significant—and long forgotten—Supreme Court cases in American history. In 1820, a suspicious vessel was spotted lingering off the coast of northern Florida, the Spanish slave ship Antelope. Since the United States had outlawed its own participation in the international slave trade more than a decade before, the ship's almost 300 African captives were considered illegal cargo under American laws. But with slavery still a critical part of the American economy, it would eventually fall to the Supreme Court to determine whether or not they were slaves at all, and if so, what should be done with them. Bryant describes the captives' harrowing voyage through waters rife with pirates and governed by an array of international treaties. By the time the Antelope arrived in Savannah, Georgia, the puzzle of how to determine the captives' fates was inextricably knotted. Set against the backdrop of a city in the grip of both the financial panic of 1819 and the lingering effects of an outbreak of yellow fever, Dark Places of the Earth vividly recounts the eight-year legal conflict that followed, during which time the Antelope's human cargo were mercilessly put to work on the plantations of Georgia, even as their freedom remained in limbo. When at long last the Supreme Court heard the case, Francis Scott Key, the legendary Georgetown lawyer and author of "The Star Spangled Banner," represented the Antelope captives in an epic courtroom battle that identified the moral and legal implications of slavery for a generation. Four of the six justices who heard the case, including Chief Justice John Marshall, owned slaves. Despite this, Key insisted that "by the law of nature all men are free," and that the captives should by natural law be given their freedom. This argument was rejected. The court failed Key, the captives, and decades of American history, siding with the rights of property over liberty and setting the course of American jurisprudence on these issues for the next thirty-five years. The institution of slavery was given new legal cover, and another brick was laid on the road to the Civil War. The stakes of the Antelope case hinged on nothing less than the central American conflict of the nineteenth century. Both disquieting and enlightening, Dark Places of the Earth restores the Antelope to its rightful place as one of the most tragic, influential, and unjustly forgotten episodes in American legal history.

Download or read book Seeking Eden written by Staci L. Catron and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2018-04-15 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seeking Eden promotes an awareness of, and appreciation for, Georgia’s rich garden heritage. Updated and expanded here are the stories of nearly thirty designed landscapes first identified in the early twentieth-century publication Garden History of Georgia, 1733–1933. Seeking Eden records each garden’s evolution and history as well as each garden’s current early twenty-first-century appearance, as beautifully documented in photographs. Dating from the mid-eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries, these publicly and privately owned gardens include nineteenth-century parterres, Colonial Revival gardens, Country Place–era landscapes, rock gardens, historic town squares, college campuses, and an urban conservation garden. Seeking Eden explores the significant impact of the women who envisioned and nurtured many of these special places; the role of professional designers, including J. Neel Reid, Philip Trammel Shutze, William C. Pauley, Robert B. Cridland, the Olmsted Brothers, Hubert Bond Owens, and Clermont Lee; and the influence of the garden club movement in Georgia in the early twentieth century.
