Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions of the Alabama Historical Society, 1897-1898, Vol. 2 In accordance with a resolution of the Society at its annual meeting, June 21, 1898, this volume of Transactions has been pre pared and published. Its appearance has been delayed for obvious reasons. When the present Secretary entered upon his duties he found an empty treasury, and no available resources for expenses or for publication. He has therefore been forced to the difficult and laborious task of building up the membership and arousing interest in the work. Hundreds of letters have been written, and appeals have been made personally, and through the press, to the people of the State and elsewhere, for support and encouragement.
