This book was released on 2023-06-15 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Places Greenville's experience during World War I within the context of the progressive era to better understand the rise of this New South city Greenville, South Carolina has become an attractive destination, frequently included in lists of the "Best Small Cities" in America. While Greenville's twenty-first-century Renaissance has been impressive, in "Our Country First, Then Greenville," Courtney L. Tollison Hartness explores an earlier period, revealing how Greenville's experience during World War I served to generate massive development in the city and the region. It was this moment that catalyzed Greenville's development into a modern city, setting the stage for the continued growth that persists into the present-day. "Our Country First, Then Greenville" explores Greenville's home-front experience of race relations, dramatic population growth (the number of Greenville residents nearly tripled between 1900 and 1930s), the women's suffrage movement, and the contributions of African Americans and women to Greenville's history. This important work features photos of Greenville, found in archival collections throughout the country and dating back over one hundred years.

Download or read book Military Moments Ww Ii written by Don Saunders and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2012-01-12 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American civilians who were on the home front during World War II would each have different stories to tell. With most, almost certainly their stories would not be as dramatic as the stories of many of those who lived in the battle zones of Europe and the Far East. Despite the difference, there would be many moving stories to tell of Americans who lost loved ones or received them home wounded or tarnished in some way by the war. Our parents welcomed us home untarnished, but changed by our experiences. Our stories range from the intense action of combat flying that Don experienced to the more ordinary action of flight training that both of us went through. We hope that the older reader will find in this book some things familiar to their experiences, and to those who were not living during this period in our history, may they find some of the limited history in this book to be of interest to them.

Download or read book Legendary Locals of Greenville written by Cindy Landrum and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2015-08-10 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greenville has long been a city of visionaries. Richard Pearis settled on the banks of the Reedy River in Cherokee hunting land where few white men would venture. Max Heller, who escaped Nazi-occupied Austria as a teen, triggered the rebirth of downtown. They are some of Greenville's local legends who have seen possibilities, not limitations. They come from all walks of life. Textile leaders such as John T. Woodside, Thomas Parker, and John D. Hollingsworth transformed the city into the "Textile Capital of the World." When textiles began to fade, businessmen and leaders such as Charles Daniel, Tommy Wyche, Tom Barton, Virginia Uldrick, Dick Riley, Carl Sobocinski, and Xanthene Norris helped transform the city once again. Stories of people who have shaped Greenville with their vision, making it what it is today, fill these pages.
Download or read book The End Times Army Of Greensville written by Phil T Porter and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine what it could be like if you lived on the earth during the time of the Great Tribulation. The Antichrist begins his reign of terror, to coerce the world into blind allegiance to his scheme for deification. His goal is to replace God in your life - Can you believe it? - and he will not take NO for an answer. You either embrace and comply, or you reject and rebel, but you can't ride the fence. Those who rebel soon learn that there are dire, life-threatening consequences to face for their effort to stay true to their heart and faithful to God. That's the strait that a band of Believers found themselves looking at. They had gathered together, seemingly in a haphazard fashion. But each had their own account of how they were being led by the Spirit. It was God's anointing that brought out the best in them and helped them to operate in gifts and dimensions they never would have thought possible. Soon they became The End-Times Army from Greensville. Their rewards in Heaven were greater than they could have imagined. God made sure of that! Phil is a retired psychologist, who has lived and worked most of his life in the Midwest. Since becoming a Christian, forty years ago, he has been interested in the Biblical study of End-times. At first it was more a fascination with end-times realities, like the Great Tribulation, the Antichrist, and the Rapture. Now the interest is in sharing with others what the Bible teaches about these approaching realities. Phil's heart is to help the Church become faithful and committed during these perilous last days. Hopefully, this novel accomplishes that purpose.

Download or read book Greenville written by Archie Vernon Huff and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the Cherokee Nation hunted the verdant hills in what is now known as Greenville County, South Carolina, the search for economic prosperity and diversity has defined the history of this thriving Upstate region and its expanding urban center. In a sweeping chronicle of the city and county, historian Archie Vernon Huff traces Greenville's business tradition and details its political, religious, and cultural evolution. The region portrayed by Huff has historically defied many Southern norms to distinguish itself economically and ideologically from its neighbors. In addition to tracing Greenville's economic growth, Huff identifies other hallmarks of the region, including the fierce independence of its various populations. He discusses the often conflicting interests and the individual contributions of the area's African Americans, mill workers, business elite, and urban dwellers. Looking beyond but never straying far from the economics of the region, Huff also assesses the impact of Greenville's peaceful but grudging end to segregation, strong evangelical Protestant tradition, conservative arts programs, and influential role in South Carolina's emerging two-party political system.

Download or read book Greenville in the 20th Century written by Christopher Arris Oakley and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the turn of the 20th century, Greenville was a small agricultural community located along the banks of the Tar River in eastern North Carolina. Most of the 2,600 residents were connected to the state's agricultural economy, growing cotton, tobacco, corn, and other crop staples. By the year 2000, however, Greenville had become an economically diverse city of more than 60,000. The explosion in the bright leaf tobacco industry, the establishment of a public university, the recruitment of new manufacturing interests, and the creation of a regional medical complex contributed to this growth. Greenville witnessed the effects of dramatic technological innovation, a devastating depression, two world wars, a civil rights revolution, and economic globalization. Greenville in the 20th Century explores the community's growth as the seat of Pitt County through historic images that span a century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A psychic and paranormalist takes readers on a ghostly tour of the historic city filled with southern charm—and southern spirits. Rumor has it that water—still or flowing—is a medium for paranormal activity. Residents of Greenville, South Carolina, have gathered at Falls Park on the river for generations, so it is no coincidence that this upstate city is teeming with spirits whose stories have yet to be told. From the aggressive spirits trapped in the 1920s grandeur of the Westin Poinsett Hotel to the moans of the wrongly accused Willie Earle, these ghosts have unfinished business. Watch as phantoms of children drift through the rows of Springwood Cemetery and discover what lurks behind the Tiffany stained-glass hallways of the Gassaway Mansion, as paranormalist and owner of Greenville Ghost Tours, Jason Profit, guides readers through the chilling past of this historic city with an entertaining collection of tales.
