History of Alabama and Incidentally of Georgia and Mississippi, from the Earliest Period

Résumé du livre

Originally published in 1851, Pickett's History was the first record of the Alabama territory and the beginnings of statehood. It begins with the DeSoto expedition in 1538 and ends with the death of the first governor in 1820. As the subtitle indicates, this history is not about just one state, but is a readable -- even thrilling -- account of an era when Alabama and her sister states were the new nation's western frontier.
