“It would be impossible to overemphasize the value of the entire series. Every volume in it that this reviewer has seen is excellent. This particular addition is certainly no exception. It is the beginning point for investigation of almost any aspect of Alabama's past.”–
“The authors understand the thought patterns and needs of historical professionals. They are to be commended, for example, for grasping the importance of law reviews as source of information....Such comprehensive coverage comes from pooling the talents of the four compilers and makes their work a valuable tool.”–
“Encyclopedic in scale...[this bibliography] will be invaluable to scholars interested in any aspect of Alabama history or culture.”–
“Alabama History: An Annotated Bibliography is by far the most important work published on Alabama history in the last hundred years. Few if any scholars will try to complete a paper about any subject in Alabama history without consulting this work.”–
Product Description
