The Making of a Southern Industrialist: A Biographical Study of Simpson Bobo Tanner

by Gerald W. Johnson

Book Overview

Tanner, like so many of the region's giants, began his career in the South's dismal age of reconstruction. This is not only the Tanner story but, in microcosm, the story of those significant southern institutions, mill stores and villages, and the story of the rise of an industrial South.

Originally published in 1952.
