Contents: |
The Two-Party Georgia Oral History Project documents how the Georgia Republican Party grew from a small grassroots party during
an era of Democratic dominance into the state's premiere political organization and governing party over the course of the
late-twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Interview participants represent current and former Republican and Democratic
political figures who were active contributors or commenters on this transformation between 1952-2016, with a primary focus
on the years post-1974.The collection documents the personal experiences and insights of the candidates, officeholders, activists,
organizers, strategists, and analysts who participated in those key campaigns, intraparty conflicts, policy debates, and legislative
battles. It also documents the accounts of the journalists and scholars who have chronicled these activities and achievements.

Ronny Yeomans Longleaf Pine Tree Catface Section

Save |

Creator: |
Ronny, Yeomans |
|
| |
Dates: |
circa 1920 |
|
| |
Contents: |
This longleaf pine catface was removed from a farm in Lexsy, Emanuel County, GA started by Jordan Clinton Yeomans.
Pine resin is collected from a tree by removing the surface bark with a series of diagonal hack marks. As the tree releases
resin to seal the de-barked area, the direction of the hack marks channel the resin into a container fixed to the tree. The
term "catface," used to describe a section of a tree that has been used for resin harvesting, derives from the resemblance
of the hack marks to the whiskers of a cat.
