Omschrijving
Frances Cabaniss Roberts's dissertation, ""Background and Formative Period in the Great Bend and Madison County,"" remains the most thorough history of the region yet produced. While certainly a product of its era, Roberts work is visionary in its own way and offers a useful look at Alabama's rise to statehood.
Just as fine as I remembered, exceedingly well researched, clearly and persuasively argued, and important beyond the limits of its subject, early antebellum Madison County. . . . The passage of the years has not in the least diminished the significance of its findings." - J. Mills Thornton III, author of Dividing Lines: Municipal Politics and the Struggle for Civil Rights in Montgomery, Birmingham, and Selma and Archipelagoes of My South: Episodes in the Shaping of a Region, 1830-1965
Frances Cabaniss Roberts (1916-2000) was instrumental in founding the University of Alabama in Huntsville, where she was a professor of history for more than forty years. She was author or coauthor of several books about Alabama history, including Civics for Alabama Schools and Shadows on the Wall: The Life and Works of Howard Weeden.
Thomas Reidy is former lecturer of history at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. His articles and reviews have appeared in numerous publications. In 2013, he led a campaign to pardon and exonerate the defendants in the Scottsboro Boys case.
