    THE ATLANTA PRESERVATION CENTER’S Phoenix2017 Flies A CELEBRATION OF ATLANTA’S HISTORIC SITES FREE CITY-WIDE EVENTS PRESERVEATLANTA.COM Welcome to Phoenix Flies ust as the Grant Mansion, the home of the Atlanta Preservation Center, was being constructed in the mid-1850s, the idea of historic preservation in America was being formulated. It was the invention of women, specifically, the ladies who came J together to preserve George Washington’s Mount Vernon. The motives behind their efforts were rich and complicated and they sought nothing less than to exemplify American character and to illustrate a national identity. In the ensuing decades examples of historic preservation emerged along with the expanding roles for women in American life: The Ladies Hermitage Association in Nashville, Stratford in Virginia, the D.A.R., and the Colonial Dames all promoted preservation as a mission and as vehicles for teaching contributive citizenship. The 1895 Cotton States and International Exposition held in Piedmont Park here in Atlanta featured not only the first Pavilion in an international fair to be designed by a woman architect, but also a Colonial Kitchen and exhibits of historic artifacts as well as the promotion of education and the arts. Women were leaders in the nurture of the arts to enrich American culture. Here in Atlanta they were a force in the establishment of the Opera, Ballet, and Visual arts. Early efforts to preserve old Atlanta, such as the Leyden Columns and the Wren’s Nest were the initiatives of women. The Atlanta Preservation Center, founded in 1979, was championed by the Junior League and headed by Eileen Rhea Brown.

The motives for the grant were to aid worthy poor in England, to strengthen the colonies, increase imperial trade and navigation, and to provide a buffer for Carolina against Spanish Florida. Even though the King had granted the charter for the colony, Oglethorpe wanted to get the consent of the Indians inhabiting the area.

Cossen (The Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science, and Technology) Printable Version: http://www.h-net.org/reviews/showpdf.php?id=53887 Nathan Cardon’s new book examining the Atlanta Cotton States and International Exposition (1895) and the Nashville Tennessee Centennial Exposition (1897) grapples with the most salient meanings of these two world’s fairs for southerners and for the larger project of nation-building at a distinct moment of national reckoning and regional reconciliation. Cardon agilely wrestles these fairs to the ground and wrings from them key bits of evidence and solid analytical insights regarding the changing landscape of race relations to explain how the ongoing (and markedly uneven and unequal) negotiations over the “New Negro” inflected every other social relation, including the emergence of a highly ambivalent “New Woman” in the South and the exportation of Jim Crow ideology to the larger nation and world via newly imperialist US foreign policies. Of course, Cardon is not the first to focus on the articulation of nationalist and region-specific messaging regarding modernity at international expositions, or even at these two particular expositions.

  • Pierce MB Young
    Pierce M. B. Young: The Warwick of the South, published in 1964 Lynwood Wl. Holland is an account of a major figure in Reconstruction-era Georgia. The youngest major general in the Confederate Army, he was the first Georgian to be allowed to take a seat in Congress after the Civil War. As a Congressman, Young's main concern was rebuilding life in the South along national rather than sectional lines. Young was a member of the diplomatic corps under Grover Cleveland, where he arranged the Central American exhibit at the Cotton States and International Exposition in Atlanta in 1895. His friendships with such diverse personalities as Robert E. Lee, George Custer, Jefferson Davis, and Henry W. Grady are notable. "In preparing this biography Professor Holland has made full use of the extensive collection of Young family papers and numerous quotations from them enhance its value." Journal of Southern History Lynwood M. Holland taught at Middle Georgia College, the T^ie Warwick of the South University of Illinois, and the University of Arizona, and served as Chairman of the Department of Political Science at Emory University Holland's interest in Pierce M.

Young was sparked by his research into grass roots politics in Georgia which led to his research of the Milner-Cummings personal collection of Young memorabilia at the family home, Walnut Plantation, in northwest Georgia.

THIS IS PLACED HERE FOR RESEARCH INFORMATION ONLY IN THIS DIGITAL LIBRARY OF MEDIA. ___________________________________________ HISTORY OF ATLANTA, GEORGIA, ___________________________________________ WITH ILLUSTRATIONS AND BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF SOME OF ITS PROMINENT MEN AND PIONEERS. _______________________ EDITED BY: _________________ WALLACE P. REED. __________________________ SYRACUSE, N. Y. D. MASON & CO., PUBLISHERS, 1889. _______________ PREFACE. THE fact that Atlanta is comparatively a young city will doubtless lead many to the conclusion that her annals are short and simple, and in such shape as to give a historian very little trouble. It did not take' long for the author of this work to find that it was a more .difficult matter to obtain the facts and figures illustrating the growth and progress of Atlanta than would have been the case if he had attempted to write the history of a much older city. The presence among us of many of the old pioneers and early settlers, strange to say, has heretofore stood in the way of a systematic record of the city's onward march. Various suggestions, made from time to time, in regard to the organization of a Historical Society met with but little favor. Few citizens recognized the benefit of such a society, when they and their neighbors recollected nearly every important event that had occurred since the settlement of the place. In the older cities and towns the matter is viewed in a different light. In many instances no pains and expense have been spared to collect and preserve in permanent form the facts of history, and some of the societies organized for this purpose even in some of the flourishing Western cities not much older than Atlanta, have accumulated such a mass of valuable printed material that a stranger having access to it would find the work of writing a history almost purely mechanical.

  • Cotton Expositions in Atlanta Original Entry by Harvey K. Newman
    Cotton Expositions in Atlanta Original entry by Harvey K. Newman, Georgia State University, Last edited by New Georgia Education Staff on 10/29/2015 In the late nineteenth century, fairs and expositions were an important way for cities to attract visitors and investors who, in an era before radio and television, were eager to see new technological marvels on display. These events provided civic leaders with a showcase to lure visitors, who were urged to come and do business in the host location. In the years following the Civil War (1861-65), Atlanta's leaders hosted a series of three "cotton expositions" that were important to the city's recovery and economic development. These expositions helped Atlanta stake its claim as the center of the New South and helped relieve regional sectionalism that may have been lingering after the Civil War. The great promoter of the first two expositions was Henry W. Grady, the managing editor of the Atlanta Constitution and one of the framers of a new vision for the South and its economy. The 1881 International Cotton Exposition Atlanta held its first exposition, named the International Cotton Exposition, in Oglethorpe Park in 1881. The city then had fewer than 40,000 residents, and the primary sense in which the first exposition was "international" was the display of cotton plants from around the world. Nevertheless, Atlantans were eager to host the 1881 exposition to promote investment and to help the city toward its goal of becoming an industrial center, which was a primary component of Grady's "New South" concept.

He was the second youngest of five children born to the couple. Annie and Karam Gannam came to the United States from Lebanon and were married in Manchester, New Hampshire. After World War I, the family migrated south, settling in Savannah, Georgia. On 53rd and Hopkins streets, in Savannah, the family had a home and started a grocery store next door, in which they sold various items, including produce from their garden. The family attended the local Sacred Heart Catholic Church. George and his siblings helped run the store after school and on the weekends. George Gannam graduated from Benedictine Military School, a local private Catholic high school in 1938. Gannam was active in reestablishing his high school’s newspaper, “The Campus Quill,” and served as its’ editor his senior year. In school, George took classes in German and military training. Gannam was also an avid amateur photographer. After graduating, Gannam signed up for the United States Army Air Corps in August of 1939.
