Explores the influence of artists in the evolution of six southern US cities - Atlanta, Charleston, New Orleans, Louisville, Austin, and Miami - from 1865 to 1950. Deborah C. Pollack identifies "cultural strivers" - philanthropists, women's organizations, entrepreneurs, writers, architects, politicians, and dreamers - who united with visual artists to champion the arts both as a means of cultural preservation and as mechanisms of civic progress.
