DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe city of Athens is a picturesque, quintessential southern town in north central Alabama, full of folklore and history. The town may also have more ghost stories per capita than any other town in the South. This book collects, for the first time, the best ghost stories that Athens has to offer. You'll read about: * the frenzied spirits that beat on the windows of town square buildings in their attempt to escape an 1893 inferno; * the phantom grandfather clock in the George S. Houston Library and House that chimes but cannot be found; * the lonely ghost of Founders Hall whose lantern light travels from window to window as she searches for her lost love; * the forlorn spirit of the Vasser-Lovvorn Home whose recurring screams from the attic pierce the night; * the ghost child of the Donnell House who was frightened to death by Union soldiers during the Civil War invasion of the town; * and many more.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA 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."

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"This book places historic Alabama pottery-making into a national and international context and describes the technologies that distinguish Alabama potters from the rest of the Southeast. It explains how a blending and borrowing among cultural groups that settled the state nurtured its rich regional traditions. In addition to providing a detailed discussion of pottery types, clays, glazes, slips, and firing methods, the book presents a geographic survey of the state's pottery regions with a comprehensive list of Alabama potters - a valuable resource for collectors, scholars, and curators."--BOOK JACKET.
