1-0 out of 5 stars Guide to the Pinpoint Guide
Basically, a folded and not very good map, with descriptions of major Civil War points of interest in Alabama and Florida. Unfortunately, the only geographic points of reference on the map are modern highways! Brief capsules include "Historic Downtown Montgomery," with the "First White House of the Confederacy,"the "Alabama Department of Archives and History," and the "Alabama State Capital;" "Selma Historic District" with the "Old Depot Museum" and the "Smitherman Historic Building;" "Fort Gaines", "Fort Morgan Historic Site", and "Historic Fort Blakeley State Park"; "Olustee Battlefield State Historic Site"; Natural Bridge Battlefield State Historic Site"; "Fort Barrancas and Fort Pickens"; "Dry Tortugas National Park"; and "Fort Zachary Taylor State Historica Site." That's it! Save your money. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Alabama's Civil Rights Trail
This is an excellent book that tells the story of many of the historical sites in Alabama. The author's writing style is clear and informative, and readers should be inspired and enlightened while learning about the various events associated with the places mentioned in the book. Anyone interested in the Civil Rights struggles in Alabama should add this work to his/her collection.

5-0 out of 5 stars Walking in the Steps of Alabama's History
In the history of Civil Rights, Alabama can rightfully be considered "ground zero." From Tuskegee's Airmen in World War II (and the shameful Syphilis study which began in the 1930's), the "Scottsboro Boys" case and Rosa Parks and the Birmingham bus boycott to Bloody Sunday in Selma, the Selma to Montgomery march, Freedom Riders being beaten and water hoses and dogs being unleashed on marchers - Alabama's involvement in Civil Rights extends throughout the 20th century. Now these stories are gathered together for the state to guide the reader across the highs and lows of this aspect of American history. Other books ("On The Road to Freedom", "Weary Feet, Rested Souls") have very ably guided the traveler to sites of importance in the Civil Rights Movement across the south, this book benefits from the focus on the single state of Alabama. The result is an invaluable guide to this history in the state. Each area of the state that is explored is accompanied by a map of the area with the landmarks being talked about located on the map. Each story is given a quick synopsis, then a more detailed 4-5 page retelling, and then commentary and photos of places being written about. The extra space allows the author to focus on some of the people and events that are lesser known and often less explored in other guides. The writing is lively and engaging and show the author's passion for the these stories, and the first hand research done in preparation.The recollections of the Reverend John Cross of the bombing of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church that killed four little girls is 1963 brings a gut wrenching perspective to the event that is often missing in other narratives. The history is not all bombs, fire hoses and lynching. Gaillard also includes the triumphs of native sons like Jesse Owens and Joe Lewis. For those interested in walking the ground of Civil Rights history in Alabama, this book is an invaluable reference to help prepare and plan the trip, and an indispensable guide to hold when exploring historic ground. ...

Product Description

A representative collection of avant-garde American painting from the 1930s and ’40s, owned by Auburn University.
 
Conceived and funded by the State Department in 1946 as part of a new emphasis in international diplomacy, the exhibit of paintings called Advancing American Art was launched on what was enthusiastically projected as an extended goodwill tour of Europe and Latin America. But almost immediately the exhibit was attacked by conservative groups as “un-American” and “subversive” and its abstract paintings ridiculed in the national media, in Congress, and by no less a critic than President Truman. Following their recall by Secretary Marshall in 1947, the exhibit’s paintings were quietly declared surplus property and sold under rather curious circumstances by the War Assets Administration. Most of the collection was acquired by a small number of public universities in what could be called the art bargain of the century, since works by such figures as Marin, O’Keefe, Shahn, Dove, Kuniyoshi, and Hartley were sold for $100 or less.

The chronicle of this exhibit tells us something about America after the war, when the nation sought to reconcile its sacrificial experiences from the Depression and in World War II with its new role on the international scene. Defining the figures of confrontation that challenged America’s tenuous self-conceptions at the time, this book captures a significant transitional moment in U.S. history while also serving as a catalog of the 38 masterpieces purchased by Auburn University.
