Life was tenuous for both young and old, and the photographer often worked against time to provide a family with images of the living before his efforts became memorial. Ping photographed people at work and play. Images abound of stiffly posed groups in front of sawmills, churches, schools, and lodge halls; families in front of cabins or newly framed houses; couples with buggies; and children at play.

"BROWN COUNTY FOLKS... a mingling of rustics and locals." The 225-page, 7.75"x10.75" softcover book features portraits and interviews of Brown County residents relating stories of their lives in this most unique county, as well as numerous, colorful landscape photos of the counties' famous fall leaves."A mingling of rustics (locals) and artists," as Steve Miller puts it-farmers, artisans, tourists, migrants, retirees, campers, transplants from here and there, shop owners, doctors, lawyers, musicians, entertainers, hermits and recluses, students... every manner of life separated only by the oaks, hickories, poplars, beeches, and white pines populating the hills and dales in which everyone lives. Indebted we are to the likes of Frank Hohenberger, who first photographed and documented the lives of the people of Brown County in the early 1900s. What an extraordinary collection of images he made. Images that if you spend just a few moments with will quietly whisper story after story of the lives of these people. We hope the images in this book may do likewise. Rick Albertson, a retired documentary photographer, covered world-wide assignments for large non-profit organizations. Having lived in several states while growing up, he attended Indiana University in Blooming- ton-the longest he'd ever lived in one place. It was then that his interest in photography blossomed, and he met his wife and they began a family there. The essence of Rick was formed during this time, augment- ed by frequent visits to every corner of Brown County-the one place he thinks of to this day as his Home. Dr. Robert E. Sexton, a resident of Brown County, lives in a two bed- room log cabin on thirty-three acres of beautiful forested rolling hills. Bob is a passionate collector of early Indiana art, specifically from the Brown County Art Colony movement. He has focused on collecting all of the woodblock prints and gouache's featuring Brown County by the world-renowned woodblock printer, Gustave Baumann.

Sumter County was founded on December 18, 1832, on land ceded to the United States by the Choctaw Indians in the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek. Almost immediately, settlers began pouring in from Georgia, Virginia, Tennessee, and the Carolinas. In the 19th and early-20th centuries, most of the residents were farmers; however, following the infestation of the boll weevil, many turned to raising cattle and growing timber. Every November, hundreds of hunters descend upon Sumter County in hopes of harvesting one of the thousands of deer that live on the rolling prairies and in the oak forests lining the Tombigbee River. With the help of Ruby Pickens Tartt, scores of ethnomusicologists, including John and Alan Lomax, traveled hundreds of miles to the red clay country of Sumter County in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s to record African American folk songs from people like Vera Hall and Dock Reed.

In 1876, Congress issued a joint resolution recommending the preparation of local histories of every town and county for preservation in the Library of Congress. The W. H. Beers & Co. publishing house was a prolific producer of such histories. From the original 1883 publication, which ran over 1,000 pages, Heritage Books, Inc. has already reprinted sections dealing with the specific histories of Brown County and each of its townships. This book presents Part V from the original volume, a collection of nearly 1,000 biographical sketches of prominent men in each of the Brown County townships. Many of the subjects were still alive at the time of the original publication, so the majority of the biographies focus on the mid- to late-1800s. The sketches vary in the amount of information given, but generally they include the names of the subject s parents with relevant information about family heritage and immigration to the United States, the names of his wife, their children, and his wife s parents. The subject s professional or occupational history is usually recounted as well as his educational attainments, and his social, religious, and political activities. A surname index has been added, in which such names as the following appear: Baird, Brown, Campbell, Cochran, Davis, Day, Devore, Dunn, Ellis, Evans, Jones, Marshall, Martin, Miller, Moore, Smith, Thompson, White, Wilson, and Young.
