- History of Alabama and Incidentally of Georgia and Mississippi, from the Earliest Period
- (Book - Genealogical.com) : Pickett's History of Alabama was originally published in 1851. Two-thirds of its nearly 700 pages cover the history of the state prior to 1800, and the remainder extends only as far as 1819, the year of Alabama's statehood. When the Webb Book Company was readying a reprint edition of the Pickett work, it asked Thomas McAdory Owen to prepare a collection of annals to bring the work up to date. Owen's Annals of Alabama, 1819-1900, including a subject and name index of more than 5,000 entries, constitutes the final hundred pages of the opus. -
- Loyalty and Loss: Alabama's Unionists in the Civil War and Reconstruction
- (Book - Amazon.com) : Though slavery was widespread and antislavery sentiment rare in Alabama, there emerged a small loyalist population, mostly in the northern counties, that persisted in the face of overwhelming odds against their cause. Storey’s extensive, groundbreaking research discloses a socioeconomically diverse group that included slaveholders and nonslaveholders, business people, professionals, farmers, and blacks. Narratives of their wartime experiences, culled by Storey from the papers of the Southern Claims Commission indicate in astonishingly rich detail the chaos and destruction that occurred on the southern home front.
