Columbus, Georgia, began as a rough frontier trading town in 1828. As its focus on the sale and shipment of cotton evolved into cotton manufacturing, massive textile mills grew up along the riverbank. Today the mills are closing, but Columbus, undergoing an economic and cultural renaissance, keeps one eye on its colorful past. As the city's oldest graveyard, Linwood Cemetery bears witness to the city's rich history. Graced by over 100 monuments signed by their 19th-century carvers, Linwood is more than a cemetery: it is a virtual outdoor museum. Historic Linwood Cemetery transforms the old gravestones into flesh-and-blood stories of the people who once walked the streets of Columbus. In these pages readers will meet a broad spectrum of former residents now resting in the hallowed soil of Linwood-stone carvers, founding fathers and mothers, military heroes, steamboat designers, past managers of the city wharf, builders of the town's first roads and railroads, and the town's best ice cream maker.

About the Author

Linda J. Kennedy is a founder and executive director of the Historic Linwood Foundation, which was organized in 1997 to preserve and restore the cemetery. Mary Jane Galer is past president of the Historic Linwood Foundation and the author of two previous books. By combining their research and photographic talents, they have added a new dimension to the history of Columbus-revealing the stories locked in the stones of Linwood.

More History from the Southeast Hundreds of ornately decorated rooms, gardens and greenery and more--Walk through the history of the Biltmore Estate, one of America's many displays of personal wealth and decadence. Although Charleston's contemporary gardens are well documented in other sources, those of past generations are depicted here, reminding readers that Charleston was primarily a city of family homes where life was enjoyed in the garden. Once home to fishermen and well-to-do winter vacationers, the area's gulf beaches became a popular getaway for newly prosperous middle-class families, anxious to put war-weary years behind them. Within these pages, the story of Jekyll's transformation unfolds through historic photographs of the island, its early residents, and devoted beachcombers. Images of America: Biloxi showcases the city's history, including tales about the seafood and canning industries, immigration, religion, centuries of tourism, gambling, and diversity, as well as the Keesler Air Force Base. In 1941, Tuskegee, Alabama, was selected as the site of an important new development in military training. For the first time, black Americans were to be allowed to serve their country as members of the United States Army Air Corps.

Historic photographs tell the story of one of the largest shipyards on earth and exemplify what American hands are capable of creating. On November 20, 1968, the Farmington No. 9 mine explosion changed the course of safety for future mining and the lives of 78 families whose sons, husbands, fathers, and loved ones never came back from the cateye shift the next day. Since 1936, Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Kentucky, has represented the gentility and excitement of Thoroughbred horse racing. To central Kentuckians, it is an enduring part of their culture and a fun place for all generations. From a hot springs attraction to a central location for gangsters, gambling, moonshine and organized crime, trace the evolution of this "loose buckle in the Bible belt", now a resort and major tourist destination. The music that has been produced in Memphis over the past 100 years is as unique and diverse as the city itself. See how New Orleans became a place where several cultures met and blended to create a city and lifestyle unlike any in the United States.

    I have thoroughly enjoyed the book

    Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2015
    Format: Paperback

    The book I purchased was a signed copy by the authors. I have thoroughly enjoyed the book. Some of my relatives are buried in the Linwood Cemetery. We visited the cemetery in March, 2015 and was pleased with the work done on the cemetery. An old church has been moved onto the property and renovated. A very beautiful cemetery.

    I purchased this book to learn more about the final resting place of some of my ancestors who died in the 1800's. Great information for genealogists and anyone interested in the history of the Columbus GA area.
