Hatcher Garden and Woodland Preserve is a seven-acre sanctuary of old-growth forest, luxurious green shrubs and brilliant wildflowers near the heart of Spartanburg. The garden is the dream of one man, Harold Hatcher, who grew up in poverty in Kentucky tobacco country but struggled against the odds to turn his life into one of promise and fulfillment.Hembrees book tells the story of Hatchers early years as an energetic civil rights pioneer and social activist in Indiana. It follows him through his move to South Carolina in 1969, where he began work in his backyard on what would become one of the Southeasts most impressive--through understated--public gardens. While thousands visit the Hatcher trails and quiet places each year, few know the story of the unique and complex man who brought them to life.

Biographies & Memoirs

In this deeply personal journey, author David Taylor takes an illustrated voyage down the Lawsons Fork, an urban stream that crosses the city of Spartanburg, South Carolina. His mythic float takes him back in time, to an era when the river provided hunting grounds for pre-historic civilizations, trails for European settlers, and power for early forms of industry. It brings him face to face with the modern role that rivers like the Lawsons have served--that of drainage ditches for burgeoning Sunbelt populations. 
Along the way, Taylor provides an interpretive map of the natural history of Lawsons Fork and presents an ode to the many heroic people who have labored to protect its waters. He dutifully answers many of Spartanburgs questions about the stream: How clean is it? What plants and animals are still found there? What parts are navigable? And who was Lawson anyway? 
Co-author Gary Henderson offers numerous in-depth profiles of the people who live,work and play along the Lawsons. They offer up their memories of the creek and their hopes for its continued recovery. 
The narrative is accompanied by dozens of illustrations by nature artist Helen Correll and by the work of a wide group of Spartanburg photographers. They provide an interior glimpse of a natural resource few have seen, except from bridge crossings. Integrated throughout the book is the creative work of local poets, including a group of young students from a school in the watershed. 
Together these writers, photographers and artists present a complex and intriguing portrait of an urban stream and the community that it traverses. "The Lawsons Fork: Headwaters to Confluence," is a journey readers wont soon forget.

New places and new voices make up Hub City Anthology 2, a collection of creative nonfiction set in and around the city of Spartanburg, S.C. From a window seat on a city bus to the hard pews of a country church, from a loading dock to a horse farm, these writers explore their relationships to the community that either gave birth to or nourished their art.Writing with humor, passion, and self-revelation, fourteen new Hub City writers take readers on a rambling tour of their hometown: a college campus at 3 a.m., a mill village in the grip of economic change, a junior high school confronting integration, a mortuary, an old-time barbershop, a retirement home, and a depot diner. Emerging from their essays is a greater story about the complexities of community life.
