History Cherokee Releases a Children's Book Featuring Salty Dog
Bring home Salty Dog for the holidays in History Cherokee’s newest book on local history, “Salty Dog Goes to Denim Day.” Written by Canton screenwriter Jennifer Dunn and beautifully illustrated by noted watercolor artist Elly Hobgood, this book pays tribute to Canton’s favorite droopy-eared mascot, historic downtown Canton, and the Canton Cotton Mills.
Weaving in historic facts and visits to local Canton landmarks, “Salty Dog Goes to Denim Day” takes readers on a delightful journey through the heart of 1960s downtown Canton and into the daily bustle of the Canton Cotton Mills. Salty Dog’s mama works at the Canton Cotton Mills. One day she heads out for work, accidentally leaving her lunchbox at home. Salty Dog spots the forgotten lunchbox and heads out on a mission to bring mama her lunch.
“Salty Dog Goes to Denim Day” will be available for purchase only at the Cherokee County History Center and the Cotton Mill Exchange at The Mill on Etowah beginning November 26. Books are available for preorder at historycherokee.org/salty-dog/.
