Description:
Orig. pub. New York 1888. Reprinted 1974. Print on Demand Edition 2015. (ii), xvi, 344 pp., map, index In his trilogy about the men who settled the Old Southwest, the author develops the thesis that these men, under the leadership of John Sevier, Isaac Shelby, and James Robertson, not only planted a civilization beyond the Alleghenies but exerted an important influence in shaping the ultimate destinies of this country. Two of these men, Sevier and Shelby, during the Revolution helped thwart the British plan to envelop and crush the Southern Colonies and then helped turn the tide of the Revolution at the Battle of King's Mountain. Acting together after the Revolution, the three men frustrated Spain's design to weaken the Union by creating a separate republic between the Allegheny Mountains and the Mississippi River. Had that plan been successful, it would have kept the vast region beyond the Mississippi a Spanish province. This work is the third and concluding volume of Gilmore's trilogy about…

Description:
Orig. pub. Salisbury, NC, 1801. Reprinted 1976. Print on Demand Edition 2011. viii, 76 pp., new intro., new index James Hall was an eminent Presbyterian clergyman, educator, and patriot who made a missionary journey in 1800-01 which laid the foundations of the Presbyterian Church in Mississippi. This first history of the Mississippi Territory was a by-product of Hall's journey down the perilous Natchez Trace to minister to the scattered Presbyterian congregations in the area. More an intelligent and informed historical sketch than an actual history, he describes the country and its boundaries, its form of government, and discusses such topics as the soil, climate, produce, manners and customs, population, and trade and commerce. This volume retains significance as a rare historical document and an eyewitness account.

Description:
Orig. pub. Mobile, AL 1876. Reprinted 1975. Print on Demand Edition 2018. xv, 528 pp. This is an important book for the study of the organization of political parties in the South, consisting in great measure of original material. Alabama was the cradle of the Confederacy and William Lowndes Yancey was the moving spirit of secession. The book concentrates on political factions in Alabama in the 1850s and includes many of Yancey's speeches. Other Gulf states enter the picture with the intrusion of the federal government. Early Indian problems are covered as are South Carolina's Nullification efforts. Particularly intriguing is the dialogue within the Cotton Belt regarding the Border States. The author is concerned with examining the reasons for the secession of the southwestern states with an aim of obliterating sectional misunderstanding. He considers factors leading to secession in the context of Alabama history and the events of national history leading up to the election of Lincoln and the…

Description:
Orig. pub. New York 1860. Reprinted 1976. Print on Demand Edition 2009. 234 pp. Gen. Sam Dale was a soldier, frontiersman, backwoods politician, and adventurer. Born in Virginia, Dale was active on the frontier as it moved westward through Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. Based on personal interviews, the book describes his frontier adventures, his fights with Indians during the Creek Wars, his character and achievements, and relates the frontier and its customs in the style of the time in which he lived. Dale commanded a battalion of Kentucky volunteers against the Creeks in 1814 and carried dispatches for General Andrew Jackson from Georgia to New Orleans. After the war, he became a trader at Dale's Ferry in Alabama, was appointed colonel of militia, held various local offices, and was a delegate to the 1816 convention that divided the territory of Mississippi. He was a member of the first general assembly of Alabama and served in the state legislatures of both Alabama and Mississippi.

Description:
Orig. pub. Nashville 1858. Reprinted 1974. Print on Demand Edition 2010. (xii), 236 pp., frontis., new intro., map One of the most engaging and valuable of the first-hand books of Tennessee historical reminiscences, this narrative recounts the adventures of a pioneer, hunter, Indian fighter, and scout during the time from 1790 to 1820 as told by Joseph Bishop to the author. Written in a very florid style, it nevertheless conveys the flavor of an old pioneer's adventures and character. The late Tennessee State Historian Stanley F. Horn, in a special introduction written for this reprint edition, called it "an impressive reflection of the raw reality of pioneer life in Tennessee," and welcomed the reprint edition which will make it more readily accessible to "the many who will be entertained and enlightened by it."

Description:
Orig. pub. New York 1857. Reprinted 1975. Print on Demand Edition 2011. viii, 9-330 pp. This is a collection of essays, largely historical, concerning Alabama and the old Southwest from the beginning of settlement to 1850. As the title indicates, Meek, a lawyer, newspaper editor, and politician, chose the more colorful incidents of Alabama history, but he vouches for the authenticity of the factual material presented. In general the events related pertain to Spanish and French exploration of the Southwest, British possession of the area, the Mexican War, and the Creek Indians. Included among the essays are ones describing the pilgrimage of DeSoto, the massacre at Fort Mims, the battle of Burnt Creek, General Sam Dale and the canoe fight, and biographies of William Weatherford (Red Eagle) and other Creek chieftains and warriors. These tales of adventures, battles, thrilling escapes, massacres, tragic love stories, heroes, and gallant deeds make this an interesting collection.
