Descriere
The Cherokees who first occupied this area called northern Georgia their "enchanted land," but the discovery of gold caused a land rush, an illegal treaty of expulsion, and the Trail of Tears. Dalton was created when the Western and Atlantic Railroad was built to connect Atlanta with Chattanooga, Tennessee. In 1863, during the Civil War, this small town became a battle scene along Gen. William T. Sherman's march, with both armies occupying the community. After the war, the leading citizens built Crown Cotton Mill and Village to expand the town's economy. In 1895, fifteen-year-old Catherine Evans hand-tufted a bedspread, ushering in the bedspread and tufted carpet bonanzas. With the invention of tufting machines in the 1930s and 1940s, Dalton boomed as carpet companies, supply houses, bedspread lines, and retail outlets brought wealth to the city. At one point, there were more millionaires per capita in Dalton than anywhere in the country. Today Dalton is growing with the help of a diverse Hispanic labor force and continues to be the Carpet Capital of the World.

Article Title: Students enjoy helping with pictorial history of Dalton
Author: Jamie Jones
Date: 11/6/08
Children often ride by the Blunt House and the Gen. Joseph E. Johnston statue in downtown on their way to eat dinner at the Dalton Depot.
What they might not realize is the wealth of history behind the house, statue and train depot.
A new pictorial history book of Dalton and north Georgia a aDalton, a published by Arcadia Publishing a begins with the Cherokee Indians who first inhabited north Georgia and continues with the Hispanic population that has helped Dalton remain The Carpet Capital of the World.
Tom Deaton, a retired history professor at Dalton State College, spearheaded the project. But third- through fifth-grade students at Dalton Public Schoolsa C3 Center for gifted students housed at the International Academy at Blue Ridge School did much of the legwork by collecting many of the bookas photographs.
aHad we not put something together like this, they all may have been lost, a Deaton said. aA lot of the stories would have been lost along the way.a
The students may have even learned a few history lessons along the way.
Ainsworth Emery Blunt, whose surname graces the home on Thornton Avenue, was Daltonas first postmaster and mayor. The Gen. Joseph E. Johnston statue downtown that honors the Civil War general was erected and dedicated by the Bryan M. Thomas chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy in 1912. The cost? $6,000. Before serving steaks and hamburgers, the Dalton Depot building served as a train depot.
Ten-year-old Jordon McKinney enjoyed the pictures of theold train depot. He even talked about the circle of nails in the wooden floor that mark the center of town.
aIt was sort of fun to see people and things you know today in the old pictures and being able to see what they looked like then, a he said.
The Dalton High School football team picture from 1952-1953 stuck in Taitlyn Chesseras mind.
aThey had different helmets and everything about the uniforms was different, a said Taitlyn, also 10.
Mary Charlotte Smalley, 10, was struck by people in period dress and also the amount of construction that had occurred at many of the buildings around town.
aThey looked the same, but they also looked a little bit different, a she said.
Deaton sought the help of C3 teachers Myra Owens, Brenda Ownbey, Tammy Poplin and Vanessa Rinkel as well as several local history experts. The bookas foreword is written by Dalton native Deborah Norville, an award-winning journalist and host of the television program aInside Edition.a
The project started out innocently enough. Owenby invited Deaton to talk to her students about the history of Dalton. Deaton, who has written several books, including aFrom Bedspreads to Broadlooms: The Story of the Tufted Carpet Industry, a had been asked by Arcadia Publishing to put together the book. A similar pictorial history book of Acworth that Deaton brought along for the lecture seemed to enthuse the students.
aThey said, aOh, we can do that!a Deaton said.
So in January Deaton and Mark Pace, the editor emeritus of The Daily Citizen, talked to students about Daltonas history. They instructed students to track down any historical pictures they could. The studentssearched the Internet using Google Images and rifled through pictures that belonged to family members. More than 1,000 pictures were submitted.
The pictures were sorted into 10 chapters: Early Dalton, Lenna Judd, Transportation, Special Events, African-Americans in Dalton, Churches, Businesses, Schools, Government and Hispanics in Dalton. The result? A 128-page book with more than 400 pictures and about 18,000 words.
aItas a really good mix of the history of Dalton, a Owenby said. aThere isnat just one group represented, itas everybody. There is something that pertains to everybody.a
A book signing for aDaltona will be on Nov. 13 at 4: 30 p.m. at Dalton City Hall. About 220 students with Dalton Public Schoolsa C3 Center helped compile photos and write copy for the book, which is distributed by Arcadia Publishing. The book, which has a cover price of $21.99, is available at several businesses around town and Web sites such as amazon.com.
