Download or read book The Man Who Carved Stone Mountain written by Donna F. Barron and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2015-08-27 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A country boy born in a small town named Porterdale just southeast of Atlanta became a man with a purpose. How does someone rise up from barely completing high school take on such a monumental task such as etching out three historical figures from the Civil War. I tell you how...a man that went above and beyond the vision that God gave him to work day and night and sometimes seven days a week until the job was finished.. My dad is a man who has been dedicated to everything he has come in contact with ...from helping his mother around the house as well enlisting into the Marine Corp to help provide financial support and then soon marrying my mom to start his own family. He knew that day on Jefferson Street when he was playing football and the ball struck my mom's ankle that she would one day be his wife and the mother of his children. Daddy loved the ocean so much that once a year in August he would take us on a family vacation to Daytona Beach and other trips he would go to Panama City to enjoy one of his favorite past times which was deep-sea fishing. He was so determined that he would never leave his boat until he was satified with his catch. A young man with many jobs starting out as a newspaper boy and moving onto a position as a welder never dreamed that one day he would be hired as the man to erect an outside 400-foot elevator that would ascend up the side of Stone Mountain. This man who fell in love with the mountain and became the Chief Carver of the Confederate Memorial is the same simple man that never took an art lesson in his life and believed that he had a purpose which soon became a historical monument that we all have come to love and enjoy."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stone Mountain, an enormous granite dome and regional landmark, has compelled human interest since prehistory. The village that developed in its shadow is equally unique. Established as New Gibraltar, it was renamed and transplanted to the new railroad by early settlers and entrepreneurs. It prospered as a mecca for tourists and hosted the University School for Boys and the state's first agricultural fair. Anchored by the depot, Main Street's hotels, restaurants, and stores vied for the dollars of tourists and locals, and residential streets began to surround the thriving downtown. A flourishing granite industry attracted skilled, European laborers to the Southern village that was connected to the mountain's quarries by "the Dinky." Stone Mountain Village expanded after the Civil War to include Shermantown, an African American neighborhood. Granite became the village's architectural signature. Majestic views of the mountain in local backyards are reminders of the strong identity that has been forged between mountain and village, one that reflects both small-town life and a place on the world stage.

Book Synopsis Smashing Statues: The Rise and Fall of America's Public Monuments by : Erin L. Thompson

This book was released on 2022-02-08 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A leading expert on the past, present, and future of public monuments in America. An urgent and fractious national debate over public monuments has erupted in America. Some people risk imprisonment to tear down long-ignored hunks of marble; others form armed patrols to defend them. Why do we care so much about statues? Which ones should stay up and which should come down? Who should make these decisions, and how? Erin L. Thompson, the country’s leading expert in the tangled aesthetic, legal, political, and social issues involved in such battles, brings much-needed clarity in Smashing Statues. She lays bare the turbulent history of American monuments and its abundant ironies, from the enslaved man who helped make the statue of Freedom that tops the United States Capitol, to the fervent Klansman fired from sculpting the world’s largest Confederate monument—who went on to carve Mount Rushmore. And she explores the surprising motivations behind contemporary flashpoints, including the toppling of a statue of Columbus at the Minnesota State Capitol, the question of who should be represented on the Women’s Rights Pioneers Monument in Central Park, and the decision by a museum of African American culture to display a Confederate monument removed from a public park. Written with great verve and informed by a keen sense of American history, Smashing Statues gives readers the context they need to consider the fundamental questions for rebuilding not only our public landscape but our nation as a whole: Whose voices must be heard, and whose pain must remain private?
