Home of the Infantry
"Fort Benning's history tells the story of the US infantry. For most of a century, Fort Benning's infantry school has graduated the soldiers who lead as well as the fighting foot soldiers in the dirt and mud. Founded on farm land in Georgia, it has been one of the US Army's premier installations from the days of the Doughboys to a more modern era where Rangers proudly wear their Ranger berets." "Fort Benning's long history has produced an impressive alumni list. Eisenhower coached its football team. Marshall rewrote the curriculum. Patton pushed men to prepare for battle. Bradley organized its Officer Candidate School, a source for men of rank in World War II. Powell and Schwarzkopf were honor graduates, as were Eaton and Freakley and other heroes from the sands of Iraq." "Fort Benning trained soldiers in the art of the bayonet. It prepared them to jump out of airplanes. It discovered the mobility and power of helicopters. It honed the technology of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle. It has set the table for war in the trenches, war on the ground, war in the air, and war in the desert. Infantry has led the way and so has Fort Benning. It truly is the Home of the Infantry."--BOOK JACKET.

Enchanted Evening Barbie and the Second Coming
Nationally syndicated columnist Rheta Grimsley Johnson, winner of the Ernie Pyle Award for human interest reporting, turns her sharp eye on herself in this frank, exhilarating, wise, poignant, and brave memoir. Her territory ranges from childhood memories of ritual pre-interstate trips in the family station wagon to visit foot-washing Baptist relatives to young-girl fixations on the Barbie dolls of the title, from the simultaneous exuberance and proto-feminist doubts of young marriage to the aches of loves lost through divorce and death. Her memorable journalism career, which began on her college newspaper and rural weeklies and moved on to prestigious big-city dailies, was punctuated by her distinctive writing voice and an unerring knack for revealing her much-loved South through uncommon stories about its common people. This is a big-hearted book that will leave no reader unaffected.

Senoia
In 1828, a large group of South Carolina natives migrated to the eastern part of Coweta County, Georgia, following the land lottery of 1827. By 1860, Rev. Francis Warren Baggarly had purchased the Willow Dell settlement and renamed it Senoia. The Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantic and the Central of Georgia rail lines provided four passenger trains for the city near the turn of the 20th century and are credited for Senoia's boom in commerce, which created the need for a hotel in 1906. By 1989, Georgia was ranked third behind New York and Los Angeles in movie production. Riverwood Studios was merely a concept when Paul Lombardi learned about the 120 acres for sale in Senoia that he would later purchase for a studio. Thirty-five miles from the Atlanta airport, Senoia has served as an excellent location for filming, and the city has over 25 film productions to its credit, including Fried Green Tomatoes and The Walking Dead.
