From the time he became mayor in 1937 until he retired in 1961,
William Hartsfield dedicated himself to the problems and promise of
the city of Atlanta. In the twenty-five years he served as mayor,
Atlanta grew from a depression-haunted city to the third most
populous capital city in the nation, as well as the leading
cultural, commercial, and financial center of the south. During his
administration, potentially explosive race relations and
controversial annexation issues were handled, laying the foundation
for modern Atlanta. Published in 1978, Harold H. Martin's biography
is a chronicle of how Hartsfield strove to fulfill the destiny of
Atlanta, and in doing so, left his mark on the city forever.
