Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Columbus, Georgia, began as a rough frontier trading town in 1828. As its focus on the sale and shipment of cotton evolved into cotton manufacturing, massive textile mills grew up along the riverbank. Today the mills are closing, but Columbus, undergoing an economic and cultural renaissance, keeps one eye on its colorful past. As the city's oldest graveyard, Linwood Cemetery bears witness to the city's rich history. Graced by over 100 monuments signed by their 19th-century carvers, Linwood is more than a cemetery: it is a virtual outdoor museum. Historic Linwood Cemetery transforms the old gravestones into flesh-and-blood stories of the people who once walked the streets of Columbus. In these pages readers will meet a broad spectrum of former residents now resting in the hallowed soil of Linwood-stone carvers, founding fathers and mothers, military heroes, steamboat designers, past managers of the city wharf, builders of the town's first roads and railroads, and the town's best ice cream maker.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dolores Autry's original Linwood Cemetery book was a great example of her attention to detail, patience and tenacity. Over approximately five years, she mapped the entire cemetery and subdivided it into sections. She walked each section writing down each grave location and all headstone inscriptions. She took that large list and researched through newspapers, copies of historical documents, old family bibles when available and any other possible sources of information. After publication, her book quickly became the definitive source for researching Linwood Cemetery. Very few copies and no original were left of this work. The authors knew the value of what Mrs. Autry had produced and with permission from her family began to republish and make additions to her original work. All proceeds are donated to the Historic Linwood Foundation for restoration projects.
