Henry C. Goodrich: A Life of Business and the Business of Life

By Harvey H. Jackson III

Industrialist Henry C. Goodrich came from the small-town culture of the Depression Era South, worked his way through college, served in World War II, and returned to Dixie to get a job and raise a family. Over the next four decades he succeeded at careers at Rust Engineering, Inland Container Corporation, and Southern Natural Resources Company. An exceptional manager and a dedicated corporate citizen, he was not a colorful character, at least not in the Ted Turner, Donald Trump sense of the term. Yet his career allows close study of certain trends and events that have shaped America's economy and society since World War II -- the ups and downs of postwar business cycles and the unrest of the Civil Rights years.
