by Ben Sutherly with Carol Mumford

$25

The George Carver Diaries

$10

Written by George Carver from April 1, 1882-February 5, 1933. Carver was a miller and farmer by trade who owned and ran the woolen mill on what is now Walnut Grove Road. Carefully and lovingly transcribed by ETHS member, Sue Curtis, it is very interesting to any history buff of the life and times in the late 1800s and early 1900s. It will be especially interesting to anyone with ties to the community and its people of that time, as it mentions many community members.
