The print is very small, as other reviews have noted. However, there is nice detail about the families covered. For relatives of these early settlers, this is a valuable reference for exploring the family tree.

Great for searching of ancestors. Book is well made, arrived on time in new condition. Very pleased.

This book is a valuable resource for anyone doing research on the lives and culture of early Alabamians up until the late 1800s. Unfortunately, the publisher of this edition used an incredibly tiny font size - the smallest that I have seen other than that on a legal document - making the text almost impossible to read without some type of magnifying device. Even with strong light and eye glasses, the words soon begin to blur and the reader quickly tires from the effort.

Written with heart
I recently heard about this book which was published in 1948.Being from Alabama, this book took me back home again although it was several eras before mine.The book was written with a lot of heart, humor, honor and humanity.The feelings the author had for her parents, particularly for her father were very poignant.It was very funny in places and I had to keep interrupting my husband to share segments with him.The book ended much too soon but I will read it again and again. ...
