Dead Towns of Alabama.  by W. Stuart Harris

Dead Towns of Alabama is not merely a series of obituaries but a vivid story of the life of each town it resurrects. In the course of bringing back to life 83 Indian towns, 77 fort sites, and 112 colonial, territorial, and state towns, W Stuart Harris conjures up a wealth of fascinating images from Alabama's rich and colorful past--images of life as the Indians lived it, of colonial life in the wilderness, of Spanish explorers and French exiles, of danger and romance, glory and slavery, riverboats and railroads, plantations and goldmines, stagecoaches and ferries. It is a thoroughly absorbing panorama of Alabama's history.

W. Stuart Harris is a retired historian from the Air Force Historical Research Institute at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery and the author of 13 books, including "A History of Alabama: A Secondary Course". He continues to lecture and travel widely.
