Traditions grow up in neighborhoods and churches the way that they do in families. Fountain City, a fictional city in the Deep South, is no different. Their most recent tradition is the Faith Promise campaign that raises money for missions and feeding the hungry. A noble and necessary work, over time, the key to Faith Promise's ongoing and invigorating success is attributed to Mrs. Bopp's Miracle Fudge, a new holiday recipe invented each year by a fudge-making genius to kick-off the Christmas season and the fund-raising campaign. People who have more than a sweet tooth to satisfy line up for her fudge believing that good things happen when you eat it. But better things begin to happen when Mrs. Bopp can suddenly no longer make the famous fudge. The recipes that have become traditions are left behind when the life-energizing force of Love itself takes a greater hold and moves the citizens of Fountain City to taste and see that the power of Christmas itself-its joy and its truth-are far more potent than any man-made recipe or tradition.

In 1833, a New Hampshire industrialist named Daniel Pratt moved south. Pratt established the largest cotton gin factory in the world and, with it, a town known fittingly as Prattville. Soon this humble hamlet outside Montgomery became an industrial hub, fueling Alabama's antebellum cotton production. Prattville weathered the Civil War and recovered faster than any other Alabama town, as Pratt collected on debts owed from his Northern accounts. Since then, Prattville has continued to grow in important ways, gradually shifting from an industrial epicenter to a forward-looking city and a beloved hometown. Through floods, tornadoes, damaging fires and shifting economic conditions, Prattville and its townspeople endured. Now, authors Marc and Melissa Parker ensure that Prattville's history will also endure by recounting the Fountain City's proud heritage.

Named for its ebullient natural springs, Fountain City, Tennessee, has a rich history and a truly unique identity. Originally established in 1788 by John Adair as Adair's Fort, this area was a depot for the Cumberland Guard, which protected emigrant families traveling to settlements in present-day Nashville. With a population of about 30,000, Fountain City was thought to be the nation's largest unincorporated city by the mid-20th century. Though this distinction was lost when the community was incorporated into Knoxville in 1962, Fountain City has maintained a separate identity and preserved its extensive history. Filled with detailed images of the area, this volume provides a rare glimpse of the people, places, and events that have molded the suburb into an ideal environment in which to learn, relax, and enjoy a myriad of recreational activities.
