This review is from: Pickett's History of Alabama: And Incidentally of Georgia and Mississippi from the Earliest Period (Hardcover)
This is a facsimile of the 1962 edition of Pickett's 'History of Alabama,' which was first published in 1851. A bright new copy.

This review is from: Pickett's History of Alabama: And Incidentally of Georgia and Mississippi from the Earliest Period (Hardcover)
This is a must read for any student of Alabama history and was the first real history books written in the state by a man who knew many of the original founders of the state and knew many of the people that he wrote about. He was very intimate with the events of the earliest days of the state and interviews many people who were eye witnesses.
Pickett writes in a narrative form with much passion and is a delightful read. Pickett is criticized by many for his passion and excitement and his failure to do footnotes and documentation. This is silly. How does one footnote a conversation with someone who was there at the event? This book is the gateway to studying the history of the state of Alabama and the older hardbacks are collectors items and even the new books are always sold out. You will not regret reading this book if you want to know about the early days in Alabama. This book inspired me in 1976 to begin a lifelong study in Alabama history and to begin a book of my own about Chief Alexander McGillivray who Pickett says is one of the most important people in the history of Alabama and I agree.
