The Making of Milledgeville is a book of history that chronicles the rapidly changing social climate that I and others in my community experienced growing up.This book also contains information that I shared and gathered from influential AfricanAmericans in the community, past and present. The photographs used of locals and the people of Baldwin County represents a now and then comparison. These photographs illustrate aspects of opportunity and change resulting from a reluctant but welcome transition in America. The photographs convey the hopes and dreams of our people; as they embarked on a new era where dignity for all men and women would be recognized equally, no matter their differences. I sincerely hope that after you have read this book and add it to your collection, you will feel that my goals of educating the young as well as reliving cherished memories shared by the great citizens in our community were accomplished.

Although 2009 marked the bicentennial of Baldwin County, the history began long before and included Native Americans, European colonists, pioneers, Chief Red Eagle, Andrew Jackson, William Bartram, and soldiers of the North and South. However, what makes Baldwin County's character today is the story of the growth in the early 1900s. As the railroad began to replace the Federal Road and Mobile Bay boats, land developers voiced the call, and Baldwin County boomed as a destination for colonists. Immigrants from all over the world came for land and for work in lumber and agriculture, building towns to fulfill their dreams. And somehow they succeeded in maintaining their cultural heritage in more than 20 distinct ethnic communities, most still thriving today. This is their story, their legacy, and the heritage of a county--the people.
