Clarke County, Alabama and Its Surroundings, 1540-1877
Description:
This database contains a history of Clarke County, Alabama and its
surroundings (including other areas of the southeast) from 1540 to 1877.
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).
