A photograph collage showing four generations of the Inman family beginning with (right to left) Shadrach W. Inman, Samuel M. Inman, Henry Arthur Inman, and Arthur Crew Inman. Shadrach, shown in this image as an infant, arrived in Atlanta, Georgia from east Tennessee in 1865 to join his brothers William H. and Walker P. Inman. The Inman family soon became among the most wealthy and prominent in the city. They were representative of those members of the planter class who lost much of their wealth during the Civil War but recouped their fortunes in a postwar urban environment. - Metadata URL:
