Synopsis
Excerpt from Colonial Mobile: An Historical Study, Largely From Original Sources, of the Alabama-Tombigbee Basin From the Discovery of Mobile Bay in 1519 Until the Demolition of Fort Charlotte in 1821
I have endeavored in this book to paint the exploration, settlement, and early development of the section of our country which is tributary to the alabama-tombigbee river basin. The vast region draining to Mobile Bay shows much diversity of soil, elevation, and climate, and is not less rich historically than in natural features. For here Indians, Spaniards, French, and English have lived and ruled before the American republic was born.
