About this title

Synopsis

John T. Lupton, the godfather of Coca-Cola bottling, and Harry Scott Probasco, founder of the “Coca-Cola bank,” guided Chattanoooga, Tennessee, with a quiet but powerful hand for decades. Generations later, the names Lupton and Probasco—and a handful of intermarried families—continue to form a controversial web of leadership for the city. This strategic crossroads through the mountains is the scene of ancient warpaths, the launching of the Trail of Tears, the greatest two-day battle in American history, and the founding of the world’s most popular product. From its religious and progressive tension to its cryptic, indigenous name, Chattanooga proves to be an enigma at every turn.

About the Author

U.S. Senator Bob Corker (now chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee) says, "Dean Arnold has a unique way of capturing the essence of an issue and communicating it through his clear but compelling style of writing."

That endorsement highlighted Arnold's book "America's Trail of Tears," !st Runner-up of the Eric Hoffer Legacy Award.

Newsweek Editor and Pulitzer prize-winning author Jon Meacham said Arnold's book "Old Money, New South" was "well worth reading." The book traces the billionaire families of Coca-Cola bottling and their 100-year reign over the city where Coke bottling started, Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Arnold's movie script "The Wizard and the Lion" on the dynamic relationship between authors J.R.R. Tolkien (The Lord of the Rings) and C.S. Lewis (The Chronicles of Narnia) was endorsed by the Oxford C.S. Lewis Society.

His full feature documentary "Harriet's Secret: a progressive marriage in the 1890s" premiered at the Chattanooga IMAX Theater October, 2014.

First a writer, Arnold is part documentarian, part theologian and philosopher, and part artist--and hopes not to be just a part Christian. "I keep vacillating between creative projects and expose's," he said. "I've found my voice as a writer, but my subject is still a moving target."
