Description: Marathon Men : Jackson to Nashville by Diane Kurek Kaiser and D. Philipp KaiserThis is book is number three of our Marathon Trilogy, The Marathon Men: Jackson to Nashville. In it, we cover the lives of nine of the men behind Southern Engine & Boiler Works, Southern Motor Works and Marathon Motor Works from the companies’ birth in Jackson, Tennessee, to their deaths in Nashville or Jackson. Our writing also includes a tenth person: Jackson and Nashville developer Barry Walker, whose foresight, research and obsession have created Marathon Village and kept the history of Marathon still available. The first book of our Trilogy, The Rise and Fall of Marathon Motor Works, answers the questions about the origin of Southern Motor Works and Marathon Motor Works, its move from Jackson, Tennessee, to Nashville, and the explosive growth and influence of the automobile company, along with its unexpected problems and abrupt closure. The second book of our Trilogy, Jackson: the Beginning of the Marathon — the Story of Southern Engine & Boiler Works, covers its beginning in Jackson, Tennessee, before Sherman Manufacturing and the later Southern Engine & Boiler Works. Here we answer who, what, why, when, where and how questions about Southern Engine & Boiler Works; and recognize Southern Engine & Boiler Works’ effect on the City of Jackson, Tennessee, from 1874 to the present. Also included are the eventual decline, sale and closing of Harvey Steel Products Corporation, the new Southern Engine & Boiler Works of 1922, and Southern Car & Foundry Company of 1925; as well as the offspring companies of Southern Supply Company and Southern Rents.Product details Publisher : Independently published (June 21, 2022) Language : English Paperback : 344 pages ISBN-10 : 1696467152 ISBN-13 : 978-1696467155 Item Weight : 1.01 pounds Dimensions : 6 x 0.78 x 9 inches
