Description:Excerpt from Mobile of the Five Flags: The Story of the River Basin and Coast About Mobile From the Earliest Times to the Present I have endeavored in this book to outline the story of the Central Gulf country from the earliest times down to the present. In a sense it is a continuation of the work I began in 1807 with the publication of "Colonial Mobile." It is not told in as great detail, but possibly is more readable on that account. It is the story of my home country, and has been a labor of love. With it I probably leave the subject, except so far as future editions of this volume may call for corrections. It has occupied much of my thought and my investigation for many years, and is very dear to me; but there is a limit to what one can do in any particular direction. I hope in the future it may be worth the while of some one to take up the work where I have left it. The book was undertaken at the request of the Board of School Commissioners of Mobile County for use in the public schools, but I have endeavored to make its scope wide enough for general use also, since it is the only work covering the subject from the beginning. Many things and many men are omitted whom I would like to mention; but from the necessity of the case I have had to make a selection from the mass of facts available, and I have had to omit much that I would like to use. This applies especially to the period since the War, which is one of great economic interest, and yet difficult to handle now because the events and people are so close to us. For the last two decades I have tried to give tendencies rather than detailed facts. I have aimed at clearness rather than ornament in the style and the facts I hope are told so as to be readily understood.
