The 125-year history of Appalachian State University rests on the ambitious yet selfless dream of empowering impoverished mountain families through education. Dauphin Disco Dougherty, his wife Lillie Shull Dougherty, and his bachelor brother, Blanford Barnard Dougherty, founded a small semi-private high school in 1899 at great personal cost and would only be able to sustain its growth to a state teacher's college through their fortitude of character and commitment. Drawing extensively on primary sources, some of which have appeared in no previous book, this history presents the first 30 years of the university's life and background. With over 100 historic images and dozens of first-hand accounts and interviews, the text uncovers forgotten foundations and fascinating personal details of the school's founders, bringing the first 30 years of App State to life.

For over forty years, 'Ben Evans' was a symbol of architectural magnificence, and was considered 'the finest store in Wales and the West of England'. However, this iconic building met a tragic end during the Three Nights' Blitz in February 1941, when enemy aircraft devastated over 41 acres of Swansea's town centre, leaving the once-grand emporium in ruins.The legacy of the Ben Evans store endures through a poignant collection of photographs, featuring striking images of the store's impressive Castle Bailey Street frontage alongside haunting scenes of its destruction. These visual records serve as a powerful reminder of its former splendour and the devastating impact of war on the town's landscape.Despite its significance, comprehensive information regarding both the Ben Evans store and its founder is scarce. This book presents an investigation into this iconic establishment, and the narrative of the store spans from Benjamin Evans' initial ownership in 1866 to the store's closure over 90 years later.
