Wood, Clement | January 10, 1923 issue

add to cart   close window

This article focuses on the history of Alabama. The Spaniards marched raggedly into Alabama before 1540, and then blundered on. The French fortified Twenty-seven Mile Bluff on the Mobile River in 1702, and in that neighborhood they have stayed. English traders of Carolina bored into the valley of the Alabama River in 1687, and radiated and settled throughout the foursquare richness of the State. They found almost infinite variety: Florence perched upon its palisaded bluegrass plateau, Dothan drowsing in the sluggish shadows of palmettos, Livingston crowning the fertile western muck of the Black Belt, Opelika baked in the sandy eastern lowland.
