Clarke County Alabama And Its Surroundings From 1540 to 1877 by T.H. Ball

A Glance Into The Great South-East or Clarke County Alabama and Its Surroundings From 1540-1877 By T.H. Ball A FULL TRANSCRIPTION of the original 1882 EDITION With INTRODUCTION by Terry W. Platt Topics covered in this work include early travels and conflicts; Spanish, French, and English residents; American settlers; Indians of the Southeast; general topography; family records and sketches; and sketches of prominent individuals, among others. The author's purpose in creating this work was fourfold. The first was to place in a permanent form the incidents, traditions, and family recollections of some of the earlier settlers. The second was this local history in connection with others in one compact volume. The third purpose was to present a view of life in the southeast, and the fourth was to set forth the undeveloped resources of the county (p. 8-9).Though we have made best efforts - the book may have occasional errors that do not impede the reading experience. We believe this work is culturally important and have elected to bring the book back into print as part of our continuing commitment to preserve the history of Alabama.
