Background

Scope and content:

Biographical / historical:

Dr. Henry Carr Hornady (1822-1893) served as pastor of the Atlanta First Baptist Church from 1861-1867. He was a co-editor of the Landmark Banner and Cherokee Baptist after this paper was moved to Atlanta in 1861. Rev. Hornady opened perhaps the first school for boys and girls in Atlanta after Sherman's departure when the Second Baptist Church school began operations on 27 February 1865.
