Between the Wedding and the War continues the true saga of two families, the northern Roosevelts and the southern Bullochs. For seven years letters flowed between the Bulloch and Roosevelt families capturing a poignant time of upheaval foreshadowed by war. The letters tell of births, deaths, love, religion, and business and follow Martha Bulloch and two of her remaining unwed children North. While stories of family journeys convey the spirit of America’s expansion and growth, stories about the home front reveal two different cultures. In the midst of it all, a president is born.

Between the Wedding & the War: The Bulloch/Roosevelt Letters: 1854-1860 (The Bulloch Letters)

The year 1861 found the Bulloch and Roosevelt families divided only by allegiance. The Bulloch women supported their Southern roots, while their northern husbands stayed true to the Union. The War created hardships limiting the family’s correspondence, travel, and finances. With two sons fighting for the South and one dying back home in Roswell, the family’s letters tell of struggles to aid and comfort those they loved amidst background of the Civil War.

At a time when our country struggled with a deep financial depression, the United States began to see incredible numbers of men and women who could not find work. During the first days of his administration, Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt sought to create opportunities for this country's uneducated and undereducated young men to find work, help support their families, and receive training in a variety of fields. President Roosevelt's own vision brought about the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). Images of America: Georgia's Civilian Conservation Corps examines the role these young men played in developing three national forests, three national monuments, a national battlefield, 10 state parks, and four military installations. This book illustrates and gives voice to the CCC's rich contribution to Georgia's landscape and history and allows us to understand how the creation of this social employment program was once seen as the shining example of FDR's New Deal.

James Stephens Bulloch moved his family to Roswell, Georgia, in the late 1830s. James, his wife Martha, and three of their children owned and enslaved a number of individuals, as did many white and some “colored” families in the South. This book presents the life story, as it can be documented, of four of these men and women. Some twenty-seven others are named herein; however, their story is currently lost to the ages, never documented, and most likely forgotten.

In the early 19th century, settlers established ferries across the Tennessee River in Kentucky and grew crops, including corn and tobacco. Small communities formed around schools and crossroads. Cheap land prices and lust for westward expansion fueled population growth. In 1842, Marshall County was created and named for Chief Justice John Marshall. Over the next 100 years, some roadside communities grew into small, prosperous towns. James Love founded Birmingham, a port on the Tennessee River, which became the county's largest community. Downriver Gilbertsville profited from river traffic and rail transportation, while Hardin and Calvert City developed strictly around rail stops. Benton slowly matured as the county seat. Still the county was mostly rural farming communities until the devastating flood of 1937 brought the Tennessee Valley Authority to Gilbertsville to build Kentucky Dam.
