This week in southern history, we go all the way back to 1903, and here’s what the world looked like then! The Ford Motor Company was founded when Henry Ford received $28,000 from 12 investors. That's $884,380.00 today, in case you were wondering The first Tour De France was held and won by Italian cyclist Maurice-François Garin. Garin would go on to win the next year as well, only to have his title stripped from him when he was caught cheating. A tradition that lives on today in the Tour De France!
Thank you for writing about this. I appreciate your telling the stories of real people in the south and what they really experienced.
Fascinating. Thank you for researching and sharing that! I love studying history!
Teddy Roosevelt’s “Square Deal” policies aimed to help the common folk. He took after Lincoln in many ways.
Damn Corey, you should consider being a history teacher. Your history lessons are always interesting!
Thanks, Corey. We have to remember this kind of horrible crap and do better.
