About the Book

By the eve of the 20th century, Middle Georgia was a rural region transitioning from the aftermath of the Reconstruction Era into the modern age. This collection of new essays describes the lives of the common people of the day. A grisly mass murder underscored issues of race, class and poverty. African Americans struggled for self-betterment against the rise of Jim Crow. Women striving to overcome gender barriers found a hero in a pioneering female pilot. The government worked to protect communities from the influenza pandemic of 1918. Fighting boll weevils and declining cotton prices, farmers diversified crops and developed a national pimento pepper industry.
About the Author: Fred R. van Hartesveldt taught history for forty years, mostly at Fort Valley State University, before retiring in 2014. During his career he published six books and more than a dozen scholarly articles. He lives in Fort Valley, Georgia.
