Peachtree City

By: Rebecca Watts,Ellen Ulken,Clarence Lyons

In 2009, Peachtree City is a 50-year-old thriving A[a¬Anew town.A[a¬A But when it was incorporated in 1959, it was 5,000 acres of farmland with little more than potential. The 1960 census did not record an official count until implored to three years later so that the city could apply for federal funds. Even by the next federal census, the city had less than 1,000 people. However, by the mid-1970s, the population was close to 5,000, and the next three decades saw phenomenal growth as the city kept a balance between industry, greenspace, and the needs of its residents. Moving from potential to fruition takes planning, cooperation, and determination from a cityA[a¬a[s leaders. In the late 1950s, young Georgia Tech student Joel Cowan enlisted the help of local banker and insider Floy Farr, and together they laid the foundation for Peachtree City. The 1980s and 1990s would see increased growth as word spread about GeorgiaA[a¬a[s planned community and its vast promise for a near-perfect life. Peachtree City is one of AmericaA[a¬a[s A[a¬Anew townsA[a¬A that did not go bustA[a¬amanaging to go from bud, to boom, to bloom . . . a place its residents A[a¬Alove to call home.A[a¬A

Silent Sisters

Profiles of the Short Lives of Karen Carpenter, Patsy Cline, Cass Elliot, Ruby Elzy, Janis Joplin and Selena Quintanil

By: Ellen Hunter Ulken

Profiles of the short lives of Karen Carpenter, Patsy Cline, Cass Elliot, Ruby Elzy, Janis Joplin and Selena Quintanilla-Perez. These talented Twentieth Century American songstresses worked diligently to propel themselves to stardom. Together, they sang it all: from Broadway tunes to classical, from folk and spirituals to popular songs and blues, and from country music to Tejano/Latino. Their triumphs and tragedies are told here with an eye to the possibility that exhaustion from relentless travel schedules may have influenced the dramas and anxieties surrounding their early deaths. The book celebrates these astonishing women, on and off the road, and recalls the songs they made famous."--Publisher's description.

Beautiful Dreamer

The Life of Stephen Collins Foster

By: Ellen Hunter Ulken

While East Coast composers of the mid-1800s continued to imitate the music of their European forebears, Pittsburgh native Stephen Foster infused his compositions with the rich and diverse flavors of river life. By mixing this "western" essence with the style of traditional English folk songs, he created an original American sound. "Oh! Susannah," his first hit, became the banner song of forty-niners during the California gold rush. "Old Kentucky Home," "Old Folks at Home," "Camptown Races" and "Jeannie With the Light Brown Hair" are still sung a century and a half later. But despite the popularity of his music, the pioneer of American songwriting died in poverty. Beautiful Dreamer is his story.
