This book was released on 2018-10 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, the Tennessee River has shaped the lives of northwest Alabamians. Native peoples made their homes on its shores, living on the rich resources found in its waters and on its banks. Early Europeans and Americans recognized the river's importance in connecting east with west, although traveling the 40-mile stretch of rocky shoals between present-day Decatur and Florence was difficult. Overcoming that navigation challenge led to such 19th-century technological advances as the Tuscumbia, Courtland & Decatur Railroad--the first rail line west of the Appalachian Mountains--and the Muscle Shoals Canal. During the Civil War, skirmishes over control of factories, rail lines, and bridges characterized most military activity in northwest Alabama. In the 20th century, the construction of Wilson Dam and the creation of the Tennessee Valley Authority improved the quality of life and increased economic opportunities in northwest Alabama. This book gathers images from the UNA Archives, the Alabama Department of Archives and History, University of Alabama, Florence-Lauderdale Public Library, The Lawrence County Archives, the Limestone County Archives, the Morgan County Archives, and the Library of Congress to tell the story of the Tennessee River in the northwest Alabama region.

This book was released on 1960 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the first reports of soil site index studies in the South there has been a great deal of interest in extending this type of information to other areas. This is particularly true where there have been recent expansions in pulping capacity and where industry is actively purchasing open lands or brush lands for reforestation. For most of such areas there is no well developed productivity index for the various species of pine, and soil analysis seems to be the only way to determine potential yield.

Book excerpt: On the banks of the Tennessee River, below the once-formidable Muscle Shoals in northwest Alabama, sits the vibrant community of Florence. In the early 19th century, the Chickasaw Nation ceded lands to the US government, and in 1818 the Cypress Land Company held its first auction. The town grew quickly because of the efforts of the company's founders, which included Gen. John Coffee; John McKinley, who later sat on the US Supreme Court; and James Jackson, whose imported Thoroughbred horses became the bloodstock for some of Kentucky's finest racehorses. Schools, churches, hotels, and businesses soon filled the streets. For almost 200 years, the town of Florence has continued to grow, becoming home to the University of North Alabama and people like the "Father of the Blues," W.C. Handy; Maud Lindsay, who operated the first free kindergarten in the state; and four governors in Edward A. O'Neal, Emmett O'Neal, Robert M. Patton, and Hugh McVay.
