September 14 Member Meeting

Atlanta's preCivil War history came alive for ESU members and guests on September 14th as Larry Upthegrove, a historian and docent at Oakland Cemetery, held the audience spellbound with stories from the earliest beginnings of Terminus, Georgia to the mayoral election in 1842.  We were all willing for Mr. Upthegrove to continue, but time had run out.  We will undoubtedly look forward to a continuation from Mr. Upthegrove in the near future.  In the meantime, you can stay connected to Mr. Upthegrove and Atlanta's history through his daily blog, "150 years ago today" which can be accessed through his Facebook page.
