The Statesboro Herald is putting together a pictorial history book to mark the 75th anniversary of the founding of the newspaper by the Coleman family in 1937.The hard-back book – “Statesboro Through Our Eyes” – will be published in November and will include hundreds of photographs tracing the history of Statesboro and Bulloch County. Along with the photographs, the coffee-table book will include a number of front pages from the Bulloch and Statesboro Herald newspapers.Some of the fronts will be of national historical significance like the bombing of Pearl Harbor, JFK’s assassination, man first walking on the moon and the 9/11 attacks. But we also want to include front pages that record events of important local history.For example, George W. Bush became the first sitting president to visit Statesboro when he made a stop at Hanner Fieldhouse in 2006 to campaign for congressional candidate Max Burns.
