Roanoke, Virginia, 1882-1912: Magic City of the New South

Rand Dotson

4.9/5 (21594 ratings)

Description:Dotson (history, Louisiana State U.) traces the transformation of the town of Big Lick in Southwest Virginia before 1882 into a major railroad hub and symbol of the rising post-Civil War South. Though Roanoke never became another Atlanta as boosters had envisioned, residents attracted enough Yankee dollars for a municipal boom. Because the "Magic City's" reformers were conservative in outlook (despite an early 1900s scandal involving the red light district), they pursued further economic development rather than change the status quo when racial tensions erupted in a riot in 1893. Maps and period photos enhance the book. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
