Download or read book Douglasville written by Lisa Cooper and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2014 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Join Author Lisa Cooper as she recounts the history of Douglasville, Georgia in vintage images; some never before seen. The formation of Douglasville coincided when New South ideals were reshaping villages into railroad towns across the South during Reconstruction. In 1875, business and political leaders worked from the ground up to provide Douglasville with each component of a New South town, including a railroad, cotton mill, hotel, bank, and a commercial district. Today, the central business district is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and presents a snapshot regarding how the town fathers actualized their vision of industry and enterprise. Douglasville's founders would be pleased if they visited the town they created 138 years ago. It has entered the 21st century as a vibrant city with a thriving historic district, as well as a destination for businesses ranging from Google to the American Red Cross.

Book excerpt: A wise African woman once said, "if one is not careful, facts can obscure the truth." Facts speak to details, but the truth speaks to how those details unfolded. This book reveals the almost nonexistent public history of the African Americans who served in the Georgia Legislature in the 1800s. Fresh from the clutches of slavery to the highest offices in the state, these intentional men fused their voting power to impact legislation that delivered many things; among them, a county named Douglass.Tracy reveals the connection between the infamous expulsion of black legislators from office in 1868 to the eventual creation of what is now known as "Douglas" County, Georgia. She motions her readers to walk with her through the end of slavery and then directly through Reconstruction's door. Once inside, she puts forth compelling evidence that definitively ties the name Douglass (two s's) to the county created by Governor Rufus B. Bullock onOctober 17, 1870. After a series of twists and turns, she uncovers constitutional breaches that will have legal scholars across the nation debating whether some counties, to this day, are legally formed. The Ghosts of Douglass County is the intriguing untold story of murder, politics, betrayal, and the genius of African American survival in the midst of a nation's transformation.

Download or read book Douglas written by Leann Elizabeth Griffiths and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2014 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A river does not run through Douglas. There are no major airports nearby. The closest interstate is over an hour away in any direction. In every practical sense, it is in the middle of nowhere; nonetheless, people have been traveling to Douglas to make a living since its founding. The town is the product of rural industrialization. Businessmen from the Carolinas saw opportunity in the piney woods of Douglas, and they brought art, architecture, and business with them. In the historic district, there are the architectural wonders of William J.J. Chase, Abreu and Robeson, and Haralson Bleckley on Gaskin Avenue. The Ashley-Slater House is farther up the road and is said to be haunted and its story full of romance and scandal. While small in size and remote in location, Douglas strives to grow along with the rest of the country. Almost as early as the town was founded, South Georgia State College, one of the original members of the University System of Georgia, brought education and innovation to the community. That tradition continues with a 2011 mission change to allow SGSC to grant limited four-year degrees.
