I even had to cook supper that night.....TIM3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Alabama Deserves Better...By Big DWhat sounded like a good idea turns out to be a very weak product...Alabama; and its rich history of folklore and tales;deserves better..much better.The authors stated aim is to "include those (tales) you might not have heard..." The problem is she included some tales not worth hearing (much less remembering)and left out tales rich in fact; history; legend and amusement.Case in point; there is no mention of Noble Leslie DeVotie; first casualty of the Civil War and founder of SAE frathernity(no;I am not an SAE!); no mention of the Ghost in the Garrett (Face in the Window) at Carrollton; and no mention of the ghosts of Union Soldiers which are said to occupy the Auburn University Chapel and sorority houses that once stood where the east side upper deck of Bryant-Denny Stadium now stands.The book also has editing problems. In one chapter John Wilkes Booth is referred to as a "movie actor" Did they have movies in 1865? I think not...The author; no doubt; had the best intentions; but the work is shallow. Alabama deserves better.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
