Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tableaux From Alabama History: Based on History Stories of Alabama The scene is laid on the hill which later became Capitol Hill. Tuscaloosa, a warrior of large stature, is standing in front of his throne to greet De Soto. His attitude is one of indifference or defiance rather than friendship. The chief's warriors are grouped at the sides and back of his throne. The entire tribe is wearing war paint and is dressed in full regalia. De Soto stands alone at the head of his men. Jean Ortiz, a Spaniard, who has lived many years with the Indians, is nearest to the Spanish leader. The general group of De Soto's men is back of him at a short distance from Ortiz. They are not grouped in military formation; some of them are leaning on their weapons, while some stand erect. The Spaniards present a very well-groomed appearance. De Soto has a pointed beard and ample mustachios, and his hair falls just below his ears. He is wearing a sword. Tuscaloosa's throne is made of boughs with grass woven in among them. Over the throne are placed some skins. As a shade for Tuscaloosa a shield is raised on a pole above his throne. This shield is oval and is covered with deer skins, which are painted with huge stripes. An Indian maiden, with a string of beads, advances to present them to De Soto.

Download or read book Richard Hurdis written by William Gilmore Simms and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Richard Hurdis: Tale of Alabama Richard hurdis was singularly successful with the public in spite of much hostile criticism. It was objected, to the story, that it was of too gloomy and savage a character. But the en tire aspect of a sparsely-settled forest, or mountain country, is grave and saddening, even where society is stationary and consistent; and, where society is only in process of formation the saddening and the grave in its aspect are but too apt to take on even sterner features, and to grow into the gloomy and ferocious. It is quite enough, in answer to the objection, to say that the general protraiture is not only a truthful one, in the present case, but that the materials are really of histor ical character. The story is a genuine chronicle of the border region where the scene is laid, and of the period when the date is fixed. Its action, throughout, is founded on well-known facts. Its personages were real, living men; being, doing, and suffer ing, as here reported. Nothing has been extenuate, nothing has been set down in malice. A softer coloring might. Have been employed, and, more frequently, scenes of repose might have been introduced for relieving the intense and fierce aspects of the story; but these would have been out of place in a narrative so dramatic of cast, and where the action is so rapid.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters From Alabama (U. S.): Chiefly Relating to Natural History The following pages contain records of impressions made upon my mind during a residence of seven or eight months in the hilly region of the State of Alabama. It is a part of the United States visited by comparatively few Europeans; and those who have ever seen it have almost exclusively confined their acquaintance with it to the brief glances obtained from the interior of a stage coach, or the deck of a river steamer. The aspect of nature, in particular, presented much that was novel and beautiful to me, and induced me to believe that what had pleased me in the observation might please others in the recital.

Suddenly appeared the cornet at the fore - an unexpected signal, that compelled absent officers and men to repair on board. Steam was raised, and immediately after a departure made, when all hands being called, the nature of the precipitate movement became apparent. Captain Winslow, in a brief address, announced the welcome intelligence of the reception of a telegram from his Excellency, Mr. Dayton, Minister Resident at Paris, to the effect that the notorious Alabama had arrived the day previous at Cherbourg, France; hence, the urgency of departure, the probability of an encounter, and the confident expectation of her destruction or capture.
