HOME | COCKFIGHTER THUMBNAILS | NEXT
Sorry about the decidedly low quality of all the newspaper images presented here. It's a result of printing out and enlarging the always blurry images one encounters when using microfilm to do research.
This is page 5 of 7 of an extensive article that appeared in Atlanta Weekly, the Sunday newspaper's magazine-style insert. The title of the article is Blood And Feathers In The Gallant South and was authored by Phil Garner. The accompanying photos were all taken by Steve Deal.
Interestingly, even though cockfighting was illegal in Georgia at the time, the article seems to lack the tone of dismay and disapproval that I would have expected to find.
