As I conducted research for interesting stories to publish and/or post on my Alabama Pioneers website, I continually found buried genealogy information, such as marriages, deaths, etc. that I knew would be of great benefit to family researchers, but it was hidden so well that most search engines would not find it. I decided to collect this information rather than disregard it until I could decide how to best share it with researchers in Ebooks. This is volume 1 of these books.

The exhilarating action & subplots keep the reader in constant anticipation. It is almost impossible to put the book down until completion,

This is the first book I have read that puts a personal touch to some seemingly real people in factual events.

Love books with strong women...this has one. Love early American history about ordinary people...even though they were not 'ordinary'...it took courage to populate our country. This book is well researched and well written.

A picture of love and history rolled into one. A step back in time that pulls you in and makes you a part of the family and their world.

Each book's writing gets stronger, characters become real, the struggles and sorrows that laid the foundation for this country.

Not only is the story entertaining, it opens the eastern shore of the early Virginia Colony to the reader as a picture book....I know this story will touch many peoples' hearts.

At the age of sixteen, Mary and her husband, whom she barely knows, are forced to escape the only home they've ever known and settle in the primitive 17th century world of America where they shape their family's destiny for generations.

Inspired by actual people and historical events of colonial America, "The Kingdom of Accawmacke" is revealed and secrets about America's history are discovered in this well-researched series. The story begins in 17th century England during the reign of Charles I and continues a family's journey to the eastern shore of Virginia and Maryland.

ALABAMA FOOTPRINTS Exploration

ALABAMA FOOTPRINTS Pioneers

ALABAMA FOOTPRINTS Confrontation

From the time of the discovery of America restless, resolute, brave, and adventurous men and women crossed oceans and the wilderness in pursuit of their destiny. Many traveled to what would become the State of Alabama. They followed the Native American trails and their entrance into this area eventually pushed out the Native Americans. Over the years, many of their stories have been lost and/or forgotten. This book (four-books-in-one) reveals the stories published in volumes I-IV of the Alabama Footprints series.

Before statehood, travelers to the future state of Alabama faced a formidable task as they threaded their way through the vast wilderness down paths of what was then mainly Native American land.

Until 1806, rivers and Native American trails were the only means of communication in the Alabama region, but in that year Congress provided for the construction of the first two roads, the Natchez Trace and the Federal Road.

Alabama Footprints: Settlement is a collection of lost and forgotten stories of the first surveyors, traders, and early settlements of what would become the future state of Alabama.
