Other Sources of Information

The following books and web sites give additional information about Glendale and things related to it.

Books

The most comprehensive book about the town is, Glendale - A Pictorial History, by M. Hembree and Paul Crocker, written in 1994.  This book has a wealth of information relating to the town and its people. It was obviously a labor of love for Mr. Crocker and Mr. Hembree. It is by far the best book available on the subject and is srongly recommended to anyone with an interest in Glendale. We do not believe the book is still in print and efforts to buy one on the Internet were not successful. The best bet to see one is in an Upcountry Library.

(A Note of warning - there is a book available through several outlets with exactly the same name but it is about Glendale, California- not Glendale, SC.)

The book, Spartanburg - Facts, Reminiscences, Folklore, has information not only about Glendale but all of Spartanburg, It has a great deal about the Revolutionary War in the Upstate. The book is by Vernon Foster and is published by The Reprint Company, Publishers, Spartanburg, SC 29304. The book is still available through book stores.

The Glendale Baptist Church  published a book for its 100th Anniversary in 1976 that has lots of information, not only about the church, but also the Glendale Community. The 46 page book  also has many photographs of church members. The book was prepared by " Pictorial Church Directories of America, Inc.", 1706 Washington Ave., St. Louis, Missouri 63103.
