HISTORY OF CLARKE COUNTY ALABAMA: Editied & Transcribed From the Original by Crane & Platt Publishers

A written history devoted almost exclusively to Clarke County Alabama and its people. Quoting from books published before this (1923) and recording his own personal accounts, the author, a resident of Clarke County since 1875, gives his personal observation of Clarke County places and events.In the introduction, the author states, " This book will doubtless be read with much interest by the present generation living in Clarke, as well as by the generations to follow. If it should be preserved and handed down through the coming years, it may, in the far distant future, fall under the eye of some descendent of some Clarke countian and enable him or her to look back through the avenue of time and get a mental picture of Clarke County in the nineteenth and twentieh centuries.". Unlike many historical text publishers, Crane & Platt Publishers editied and transcribed this book from the original in order to give readers a quality book as close to the origianal as possilbe.
