Download or read book Promise of Better Days written by Cornell Woodall Cox and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-06-15 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A child of the protracted Great Depression, Cornell Cox chronicles the hardships of cotton and flue-cured tobacco farming during the 20th Century. Meanwhile many Eastern North Carolina families were increasingly forced to become sharecroppers living on pitiful margins. In the face of dismal poverty, the moral resistance to tobacco shared by Cox's Quaker ancestors gave way to tobacco production. Regardless of morality, tobacco's "promise of a better life" made North Carolina the top producer state. His family's farm life mirrors the history of a "special culture" prevalent in the rural South during much of the 20th Century. Many photographs in the book complement Cox's story of bright-leaf production and auction marketing - followed by the evolution of "new ways" in agricultural mechanization. Cox completes the journey with an intriguing, very personal autobiography. Early years on the farm, his father's work-ethic teaching, experiences in the FFA, and a serious study of religious faith profoundly influenced who he became.

Download or read book Georgia Odyssey written by James C. Cobb and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2010-01-25 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Georgia Odyssey is a lively survey of the state’s history, from its beginnings as a European colony to its current standing as an international business mecca, from the self-imposed isolation of its Jim Crow era to its role as host of the centennial Olympic Games and beyond, from its long reign as the linchpin state of the Democratic Solid South to its current dominance by the Republican Party. This new edition incorporates current trends that have placed Georgia among the country’s most dynamic and attractive states, fueled the growth of its Hispanic and Asian American populations, and otherwise dramatically altered its demographic, economic, social, and cultural appearance and persona. “The constantly shifting cultural landscape of contemporary Georgia,” writes James C. Cobb, “presents a jumbled panorama of anachronism, contradiction, contrast, and peculiarity.” A Georgia native, Cobb delights in debunking familiar myths about his state as he brings its past to life and makes it relevant to today. Not all of that past is pleasant to recall, Cobb notes. Moreover, not all of today’s Georgians are as unequivocal as the tobacco farmer who informed a visiting journalist in 1938 that “we Georgians are Georgian as hell.” That said, a great many Georgians, both natives and new arrivals, care deeply about the state’s identity and consider it integral to their own. Georgia Odyssey is the ideal introduction to our past and a unique and often provocative look at the interaction of that past with our present and future.
