Alabama: A History - Paperback
by Virginia Van Der Veer Hamilton (Author)
Pause for a moment before a gallery of fading portraits, and you will sense the beginnings of Alabama's troubled history--homespun pioneers gripped by "Alabama fever," chained and manacled black people quietly awaiting a slave trader's order to move on, newly rich planters and iron barons holding tightly to the reins of power. You will also be caught in the tangled web of the South's past.
The states and the nations series, of which this volume is a part, is designed to assist the American people in a serious look at the ideals they have espoused and the experience they have undergone in the history of the nation. It represents the scholarship, experience, and opinions of its author.
