Download or read book The First One Hundred Years of Upson County Negro History written by James McGill and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Upson County, Georgia, has produced great Negro leaders whom God has given gifts to make a difference in the first one hundred years of history. As I researched the history of Upson County, Georgia, my soul got excited about what God did through willing vessels. My goal in this book is to encourage future generations to become available vessels to be used by God as difference makers in a changing world and to show how Negroes in Upson County thrived in the early 1800s and 1900s by investing their time, talents, and money to make the county great. Unfortunately, there are very scarce recordings of history of early Negro settlers in Upson County, and few vital statistics are available. However, as the result of painstaking effort and research as this work progressed, it is believed that this volume is as accurate as humanly possible.
Download or read book A President in Our Midst written by Kaye Lanning Minchew and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2017-06-01 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Franklin Delano Roosevelt visited Georgia forty-one times between 1924 and 1945. This rich gathering of photographs and remembrances documents the vital role of Georgia’s people and places in FDR’s rise from his position as a despairing politician daunted by disease to his role as a revered leader who guided the country through its worst depression and a world war. A native New Yorker, FDR called Georgia his “other state.” Seeking relief from the devastating effects of polio, he was first drawn there by the reputed healing powers of the waters at Warm Springs. FDR immediately took to Georgia, and the attraction was mutual. Nearly two hundred photos show him working and convalescing at the Little White House, addressing crowds, sparring with reporters, visiting fellow polio patients, and touring the countryside. Quotes by Georgians from a variety of backgrounds hint at the countless lives he touched during his time in the state. In Georgia, away from the limelight, FDR became skilled at projecting strength while masking polio’s symptoms. Georgia was also his social laboratory, where he floated new ideas to the press and populace and tested economic recovery projects that were later rolled out nationally. Most important, FDR learned to love and respect common Americans—beginning with the farmers, teachers, maids, railroad workers, and others he met in Georgia.

Download or read book Frontier Link with the World written by David E. Paterson and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Frontier Link with the World is the history of one small company which operated a track sixteen miles long and served essentially one community. This company shared significant characteristics with its much larger neighbors, and therefore serves as a microcosm depicting the interrelationships between the corporate activities of a Georgia railroad and the economic and social history of the community it served.A Frontier Link with the World balances discussions of government and corporate influences on railroad development with the activity and interest, collective and individual, of investors and customers in the local community. Paterson describes misconceptions about the railroad's purpose and potential which fostered a love-hate relationship between local people and the railroad. From an analysis of the local economy, David Paterson explores how much the railroad benefited the community, and who benefited most. Beyond scheduled freight and passenger services, the author details other railroad services which broadened the social and cultural horizons of the community.The book makes extensive use of manuscript sources, including the recently - available Central of Georgia Railway Collection at the Georgia Historical Society in Savannah. Significant depth is added by: (1) data on population and wealth for the local community compiled from local tax records for the period of the company's existence, illustrating how the railroad was funded, its profitability, and its effect on the growth of the community, and (2) sufficient biographical data on most of the railroad's employees showing who they were, where they were recruited, and how local amateur operators evolved into a careerrailroad workforce.
