Author Bio: In August 2009 The Chattahoochee Valley Historical Board and the Chambers County Museum Board took formal action to work cooperatively in producing a photographic history of Chambers County in response to an invitation from Arcadia Publishing. A book preparation committee was created and was composed of the President and Second Vice President of the Chattahoochee Valley Historical Society, Dr. Horace McLean Holderfield and Don Clark, respectively; Virginia Prather Weldon, past president of both historical organizations; and members representing the two organizations, Lynda Langley Burton, Mary Helen Stitzel Benford, and Linda Hughes Holderfield
