HORTON PAPERS 1927-1933 GP 41 Processed by: Margaret Sawyer Archival Technical Services Completed: 1967 MICROFILMED INTRODUCTION This collection represents the archival materials created during the administration of Tennessee Governor Henry H.

There are no restrictions on the materials and copies of items may be made for individual and scholarly use. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Henry Hollis Horton, the son of a Baptist minister, was born in Alabama in 1866. after graduation from Winchester college in 1888, he taught school for six years, and was admitted to the bar in 1894. He served in the state House and later in the Senate, where he was elected speaker. It was from this office that he became governor when Austin Peay died. Successfully elected in his own right in 1929, his involvement with the lea- Caldwell banks in the depression years cost him his credibility and he came close to being found guilty of fraud. He abolished the state land tax, created an aeronautics division in state government, and developed a secondary road system. Horton did not seek re-election and died in 1934. *Tennessee Blue Book, 2001-2004, page 499. CONTAINER LIST Microfilm Reel #1 Box 1 1. Correspondence-Governor Henry H.

  • About Tennessee
    SECTION VI State of Tennessee A History of Tennessee The Land and Native People Tennessee’s great diversity in land, climate, rivers, and plant and animal life is mirrored by a rich and colorful past. Until the last 200 years of the approximately 12,000 years that this country has been inhabited, the story of Tennessee is the story of its native peoples. The fact that Tennessee and many of the places in it still carry Indian names serves as a lasting reminder of the significance of its native inhabitants. Since much of Tennessee’s appeal for settlers lay with the richness and beauty of the land, it seems fitting to begin by considering some of the state’s generous natural gifts. Tennessee divides naturally into three “grand divisions”—upland, often mountainous, East Tennessee; Middle Tennessee, with its foothills and basin; and the low plain of West Tennessee. Travelers coming to the state from the east encounter first the lofty Unaka and Smoky Mountains, flanked on their western slope by the Great Valley of East Tennessee. Moving across the Valley floor, they next face the Cumberland Plateau, which historically attracted little settlement and presented a barrier to westward migration. West of the Plateau, one descends into the Central Basin of Middle Tennessee—a rolling, fertile countryside that drew hunters and settlers alike. The Central Basin is surrounded on all sides by the Highland Rim, the western ridge of which drops into the Tennessee River Valley. Across the river begin the low hills and alluvial plain of West Tennessee. These geographical “grand divisions” correspond to the distinctive political and economic cultures of the state’s three regions.

Scott Secretary Poplar Ridge Homemakers 3 The Author Twenty Five years ago, my family moved to New Hope, Alabama, from Franklin, Illinois. My husband’s job had been eliminated in Springfield, Illi­ nois, and the opportunity came to be a part of the Space Shuttle Program in Huntsville, Alabama. John and I came down for his first two weeks training, and to find a place to make our new home, and thanks to Margaret Earl Mann, we found 854 Old Gurley Pike, New Hope, Alabama! It was certainly NEW HOPE! that we needed. While Margaret Earl was finalizing the loans, closings, etc., she men­ tioned that New Hope had a football game at Brewer on Friday night and why didn’t we come and meet some of the people! She already knew our two High Schoolers would be in the band. Our home school didn’t even have football, but we didn’t have anything better to do, so...we went! We called the movers on Monday, to finish packing, and went home the next weekend to gather up the three kids and say our goodbyes, and were back in New Hope to register for school on Wednesday of the third week. Six weeks after we moved in, I went to my first “Home Demonstration Club” meeting! I’ve held several positions through the years, in the club, which is now “Poplar Ridge Homemakers”.
