- Description:
- Documents the 1966 Georgia gubernatorial election and the life of Ellis G. Arnall, Georgia governor, 1943-1947. Additional interviews with Herman E. Talmadge, Georgia governor, 1948-1955, and U.S. Senator, 1956-1981, records information about Talmadge, his father (Eugene) and family, and politics in Georgia.
Ellis Gibbs Arnall was born to Bessie Lena Ellis and Joseph Gibbs in Newnan, Georgia, on March 20, 1907. Arnall began his political career in 1932, when he was elected to the Georgia House of Representatives to represent Coweta County. As a freshman legislator, he was elected to Speaker pro tempore, a position to which he was reelected in 1935. In 1939, Arnall became the youngest attorney general in the country at thirty-one years old. In 1942, Arnall was elected governor, defeating Eugene Talmadge. He was the youngest governor in the country at that time. Arnall served from 1943 to 1947. In 1947, Arnall was involved in the "three-governor controversy" when governor-elect Eugene Talmadge died before he could take office. Arnall lost his bid and retired from Georgia politics until a 1966 failed run for governor.
Gift of Harold Paulk Henderson, Sr.
