Description: "The small town of Fairhope, Alabama, founded to prove Henry George's theory of a single tax, has prospered in recent years as a retirement and tourtist community. The Fair Hope of Heaven takes an introspective glance back in time as it examines the town as it once was and reveals stories of some of its famous visitors including Clarence Darrow and Upton Sinclair; its founder, reformer and editor E.B. Gaston, and the world-renowned educator, Marietta Johnson." -- Cover.
