Join author and historian Carolyn Barske as she recounts the history of Florence, Alabama through the lens of over 200 vintage images. On the banks of the Tennessee River, below the once-formidable Muscle Shoals in northwest Alabama, sits the vibrant community of Florence. In the early 19th century, the Chickasaw Nation ceded lands to the US government, and in 1818 the Cypress Land Company held its first auction. The town grew quickly because of the efforts of the company's founders, which included Gen. John Coffee; John McKinley, who later sat on the US Supreme Court; and James Jackson, whose imported Thoroughbred horses became the bloodstock for some of Kentucky's finest racehorses. Schools, churches, hotels, and businesses soon filled the streets. For almost 200 years, the town of Florence has continued to grow, becoming home to the University of North Alabama and people like the "Father of the Blues," W.C. Handy; Maud Lindsay, who operated the first free kindergarten in the state; and four governors in Edward A. O'Neal, Emmett O'Neal, Robert M. Patton, and Hugh McVay.

The extensive research and work invested by David Beasley into this book is incredible. The history of the Florence Kiwanis Club chronicles the civic works of the club through the historical eras of times past as reported by the newspapers of the time. It is a 'must read' for anyone interested in how ordinary citizens and community leaders strived to improve their club, community and nation through the annals of history. James Engelthaler David Beasley's history of the Florence Kiwanis Club fills a niche in the history of this proud civic organization by examining in great detail the history and activities of the club as reported in the Florence Times from the 1920s till today. The material on the club is set into its historical context by the inclusion of major headlines from the paper that occurred at the same time, so that the reader gets a sense, not only of the history of the club, but of how the club fits into the wider sweep of history, both local, national and international. I hope all of the clubs will produce a similar history. Lee Freeman About the Author: David grew up in Jasper and Montgomery - He graduated from Robert E.
