Sharecropper's Son - The Story of Doc Garland Granger

By: Susan D. Brandenburg

Doc Granger's biography is a fascinating series of stories that chronicle a life well-lived. Doc is the kind of strong, savvy, spiritual man who has helped make the American Dream a reality." - Susan D. Brandenburg, Author of Sharecropper's Son The Story of Doc Garland Granger "Doc's competitive nature inspires me. He is someone with great vision, and he gambles to get what he wants he'll go right to the edge! He's not afraid of anything, and he loves to build something from nothing. He builds people as well or better than he builds businesses. He saw more in me than I saw in myself. Without him, I wouldn't be where I am today." - Nadine Gramling "Doc just sits there and talks quietly to people until they see things his way." - Eddie Sparks "He gave us a boat called The Foxy Lady! Imagine that . . . the Baptist Church and The Foxy Lady! That was a lot of fun! With Doc's help, the church was able to sell The Foxy Lady for $60,000, but for a while, it certainly caused a few waves!" -Dr. O. R. Rice SHARECROPPER'S SON The Story of Doc Garland Granger His mother named him Doc, and though she never did say why, the name has served Doc Garland Granger very well for 94 years. Born in a sharecropper's shack, Doc spent his childhood laboring in the cotton fields and tobacco patches of Robeson County, North Carolina. When, at age 17, he left the farm and set out to make his fortune, Doc carried with him enduring faith in God, indomitable entrepreneurial spirit and innate "tobacco patch wisdom." With only a 4th grade education, the tall, handsome, sinewy son of a sharecropper was destined to become an icon of the steel industry, a successful hotelier, restaurateur, and real estate developer, a highly respected member of the Masonic Temple, a yachtsman, philanthropist and philosopher. Sharecropper's Son is the inspiring story of a man who achieved success despite facing insurmountable challenges. Doc Granger is a man whose legacy of love is laced with laughter; whose homespun intelligence is like money in the bank; and whose heart has always been big enough to forgive, forge ahead and live life to the fullest.
