Montgomery is one of the most historic cities of the Union — known not only in this country, but across the waters — for men who lived here and for events that transpired here. An Indian town Echau-Chatty meaning "red bluffs" once occu- pied the present site of the city. Towassa another Indian settle- ment was near by and within the memory of man. Six villages stood on the east bank of the river, all of which have been ab- sorbed by Montgomery. The sturdy companions of Hernando de Soto in company with that explorer, camped on the present site for a week in Septem- ber, 1540. Another Spanish expedition visited the site in 1560. In 1715 the Frenchman, Bienville, headed an expedition up the Ala- bama river and built Fort Toulouse, a few miles above Montgom- ery. These were but wanderers, but in 1716 a Scotchman, James Mc- Queen, built a trading post within the present boundaries and in 1785 Abraham Mordecai erected a gin, the first in Alabama, a short distance above Montgomery. There drifted in other traders, all of whom had Indian wives. During the Revolution, Colonel Tate, a British officer, drilled squads of Tories and Indians here. The first white man to build a home here was Arthur Moore. His small log cabin perched high on the river bluffs a few yards up the river from the station, has long since been undermined by the river and there is now no trace of the high embankment where Arthur Moore hunted wild game for his visitor. General Thomas Woodward, when he spent some days here in 1815. Two years later the territorial government of Alabama was es- tablished. The prospect of protection under the new government proved an inducement to the tide of population then setting strongly southwestward. Fabulous reports of the fertility of the soil got abroad and a steady stream of settlers poured across from the land office at Milledgeville, Georgia, through the Creek lands into Alabama territory. Among these were two different types of pioneers. One under the direction of Andrew Dexter, a New Englander, was composed of educated but adventurous Yankee folks — the other of the flower of the Carolinas and Georgia. Two land companies were formed and plots laid out. The one under the direction of Dexter with the assistance of John Falconer, bought that part of Montgomery bounded by Scott, Jefferson, Court and Ripley streets. By the very modern plan of offering free lots he persuaded several traders to join his venture and GUIDE TO CTTV OF MONTGOMERY ^^t.jiir^y'-Jg "> -jBij^ -* OLD COTTON COMPRESS proceeded to lay off his town. With a remarkable prophetic vision and with touching faith he reserved the crest of the most com- manding hill for the future capitol. This man of broad vision waited thirty years for the fulfillment of his dream. This town was called New Philadelphia- — a name given by John Klinck. In 1818 two more towns sprang up in sight of New Philadelphia. One was a mile down the river near what is now West End and was called "Alabama Town." This land company was under the direction of Gen. John Scott, Thos. Bell and Dr. Manning. A third town immediately adjoining New Philadelphia was called "East Alabama." This was the part of the present city that is bounded by Court, Clayton and Goldthwaite streets with the river on the north. These people were from Georgia or the Carolinas. In a year the two rival towns grew apace. In December, 1819, just a week before the State of Alabama was admitted into the Union, the two towns, New Philadelphia and East Alabama united into one town called by common consent Montgomery. The county of Montgomery was named for Major Lemuel Mont- gomery, who was killed in the fight of General Jackson at Horse Shoe Bend, while the city was named for General Richard Mont- gomery, the brave young Irishman who fell at the head of the American troops at Quebec — each for a man who fell on the field of honor. The Court House was erected in Court Square where the boun- daries of the two towns met, and a government of the town es- tablished. The executive officer was known as the intendant and the first one to serve was Wm. Graham. At this election 59 votes were cast, the total number of white males in the new town. GUIDE TO CITY OF MONTGOMERY 7 From 1820 to 1838 the following pioneer citizens of Alontgomery served as intendants : N. E. Benson. Francis McGehee. Francis Bugbee. J. H. Thorington. John Gindrat. Justus Wyman. Bryan Gordon. John Edmonson. Wm. Sayre. Isaac Ticknor. Andrew Dexter. M. B. Tatum. M. Hooks. The town meetings were usually held in the "counting-house" of John Gindrat, and in the minutes of these meetings it is often re- corded that the Intendant and Councillors adjourned to some home for refreshments. Montgomery was chartered as a city December 23, 1837. At the first election held January 14, 1838, Samuel D. Holt was elected Mayor. LAFAYETTE'S VISIT IN 1825. The visit of Lafayette was an important event in the early days of Montgomery. No one was ever more deserving of honors, and none ever received more patriotic and grateful homage. The Marquis first set foot on Alabama soil in Russell County. He came by stage from Macon, Georgia. It was on the Alabama f r\r>r', DEXTER AVENUE, LOOKING TOWARD CAPITOL, 18-49 GUIDE TO CITY OF MONTGOMERY OLD LAFAYETTE HOUSE side of the Chattahoochee River, which divides the two states, that the Alabama delegation assembled to greet their guest. Gen- eral Thomas Woodward had charge of the committee, and Col- onel Arthur Hayes, veteran of the War of 1812, was general man- ager. On the east bank of the river General Lafayette was met by Chilly Mcintosh, son of a noted Indian general. With him were fifty Indian warriors, stripped naked and finely painted. They had prepared a sulky with drag ropes. The general was turned over by the Georgians to the Indians, who escorted him across the river. As the ferry boat reached the Alabama side, the Indians in two lines seized the drag ropes and drew the vehicle to the top of the bank. As the sulky came to a standstill the Indians gave three loud whoops. General Lafayette was addressed by the Honorable Boiling Hall, who spoke the welcome of the Alabama delegation. Other speeches were made, among them one by an Indian called Little Prince. The Indians then played games which the General watched with keen interest. The party came to Montgomery by the Mt. Meigs road, reach- ing the city on Sunday, April 3, 1825. The entire population of the town, and many of the people from the villages nearby had as- sembled to greet the famous Frenchman. The escort halted in front of the Capitol Square, whence they walked to the top of the hill. There Colonel Hall introduced Lafayette to Governor Israel Pickens, whose feelings on that occasion prevented him from making a speech ; but, as General Woodwards remarks, "La- fayette did not fail to perceive that the Governor was a great man." After beautiful reception exercises the Marquis was escorted to the residence of Colonel John Edmonson on Commerce Street, w GUIDE TO CITY OF MONTGOMERY 9 ..hich had been engaged and fitted up for his accommodation. Every lady in town contributed something towards fitting up the apartment. The only Brussels carpet in town Mrs. William Har- ris and Mrs. John Gindrat lent to the committee. Mrs. Gindrat also lent a handsome mirror, now in the possession of the heirs of Mrs. Lucy Lahey. All business was suspended during his sojourn and everyone was earnest in attentions to the only surviving general of the American Revolution. Arrangements were made for a grand ball on the night of April 4, 1825. The old Bell Tavern was selected as the place for the affair, since it was the finest building in the city. At that time the building was occupied by a boarding house on the lower floor and a school on the upper. It was in this school room that the ball was given. On the night of the ball all the elite of the city gathered to do homage to their charming guest. The entertainment was the most elegant in the history of the town, costing the State of Alabama, $15,000. There was one drawback, however, to the enjoyment of the taller gentlemen. The ceiling was so low that they experi- enced difficulty in dancing. General Lafayette was sorry to quit the ball room, but he was compelled to leave about eleven. He spent his last hour in Mont- gomery at the home of Mr. Gindrat, where he and several friends talked until twelve. Shortly after that hour he went on board the boat which conveyed him to Cahaba, at that time the Capitol of the State. Lafayette's visit is little more than a beautiful tradition, for un- fortunately time has obliterated the landmarks associated with him. On the corner of Commerce and Tallapoosa Streets where once stood the old building known first as Bell Tavern, later as "the old Lafayette house," stands today the Nicrosi Biulding. On April 4, 1905, was unveiled a tablet which reads : On this site stood until November 1899, the house in in which Marquis de Lafayette was given a public re- ception and ball, April 4, 1825, while on his last tour through the United States. The D. A. R. erected another tablet in honor of Lafayette at what was originally Capitol Hill School. The ladies renamed the school "Lafayette School." The story runs that at a picnic given as part of the festivities in the general's honor, lunch was spread on the verj' spot where the school stands. To those who care for old things, for the past, it might be in- teresting to make a pilgrimage to one other shrine of memory. On the old Line Creek Road, sometimes called the Mt. Meigs Road, is the old Wigglesworth home, beautiful in itself, and well worth seeing. There took place one of the many parties; and there, while Lafayette was being royally entertained downstairs, a son was born upstairs. In honor of the noble guest the child was christened "Lafayette Wigglesworth." In the homes of many Montgomerians are mementos of the gala days of Lafayette's visit. It is our boast that "Lafayette danced with great grandmother this or that;" or that to great aunt he was pleased to pay such and such a compliment. We in Mont- 10 GUIDE TO CITY OF MOXTGOMERY gomery are proud to be still possessed of many of the families who were here in the early days. It is equally pleasant to look forward to posterity or back to our ancestors in this quaint old town. THE C.-\PlTOL. Site. On a green terraced hill facing Dexter Avenue. Montgomery*, stands the capitol of Alabama. The beaut}* of this fine old build- ing is enhanced by its imposing site and the spacious grounds, em- bellished with flowers, shrubs, and trees. History. The history of the building of the capitol is most interesting. When Montgomery-, then called Xew Philadelphia, was founded by Andrew Dexter, he predicted that the town would one da}* be the capital of the State. His prophecj- was fulfilled in 1846. Be- fore that date. Alabama had been successiveh* governed from St. Stephens, her territorial capital: from Huntsville. her temporary capital: from Cahaba. her first State capital: and from Tuscaloosa. So. nearh* twenty-eight years of statehood had gone by before it became Montgomery's turn to build a State Capitol. The city nV- * GUIDE TO CITY OF MONTGOMERY 11 lost no time: Stephen D. Bulton was chosen architect, the plans soon drawn, and the contract for construction awarded to Robin- son and Bardwell. In Xovember. 1847. the Secretary of State was notified that the new capitol was finished. He came over at once from Tuscaloosa, received the building, formalh* for the State, returned to Tusca- loosa, packed all the State archives in 113 boxes, and loaded them into thirteen wagons for transfer to Montgomery. You who live in this da^- of railroads may smile at the picture of that old wagon train journeying slowly up Market Street (now Dexter Avenue) to "Goat Hill" (now Capitol Hill.) ProbabU- the next generation will be as much amused at our slow methods of transportation. \Vhen the first session of the Legislature convened in Mont- gomer}'. December 6. 1847, there was an immense crowd at the Capitol for the event. A great jollification took place, but the season of rejoicing was brief. On December 14. 1849. during the second session of the Legislature, the Capitol caught on fire, and within three hours was a mass of ruins. Thus went up in smoke and flame, many soaring aspirations of little Montgomery town. The present Capitol dates from 1850-51. The central part of it was built on the same spot as the first Capitol, and except for a few changes in dimensions, this central portion stands todaj- substantially the same in design as the Capitol of 1846. The building has been enlarged three times. In 1885 the rear ex- tension was built, in 19C3 the south wing was built, and in 1911 the north wing. Every effort was made to keep these additions in harmony with the original Greek type of architecture. For the south and north wings, plans of Frank Lockwood. Montgomery, were accepted. At that time Mr. McKim. of the prominent firm of McKim. Meade & White. Xew York, made a special visit to Montgomery to inspect the Capitol. At the time of his visit, the Capitol was in its original form, ex- cept for the rear addition. McKim pronounced the old dome particularly- pure and beautiful in design. He also warmly praised the interior carved stairway. There is no visible support to this stairway, and hence it produces a charming effect of airy grace. McKim declared the Lockwood plans to be in perfect harm- ony with the original structure. His judgment has been amply justified by the pleasing aspect of the present building, with its ample wings, lofty dome, and stately white-columned portico. Exterior and Grounds. As one mounts the A\ide steps leading up Capitol Hill, the old clock above the portico tells one the hour. Long ago this ancient timepiece was the town clock of Montgomery, and it has been in its present elevated position since 1852. so it may be pardoned if its information is not always correct. The visitor's attention is attracted by the old cannon and the flag pole on the lawn at the left of the steps. At the outbreak of the Civil War the cannon was sent to Montgomen,- from an old fort in Pensacola. Later on. it was mounted in its present place. The flag pole nearby is made from the flag poles of two Spanish ships sunk in the Battle of Santiago It Tas presented 12 GUIDE TO CITY OF MONTGOMERY CONFEDERATE MONUMENT GUIDE TO CITY OF MONTGOMERY 13 to Alabama by one of her distinguished sons, Richmond Pearson Hobson, hero of the Merrimac. At the south end of the Capitol grounds, stands a handsome new flag pole, erected by popular subscription during the World War. Dedicated with impressive ceremonies, this flag pole has al- ready become an object of special interest to visitors. Many of the shrubs and trees everywhere adorning the grounds, possess historic interest as well as intrinsic beaut}'. The won- derful "Red Bud" or Judas tree, that blooms so gorgeously every spring near the Confederate monument at the north end of the Capitol, grew upon the battlefield of Shiloh. Nearer the same monument, is a small tree from the bloody ground of Gettysburg; and at the northeast corner stands a sycamore from Manassas. Very recently, the Capitol grounds have been enriched by a gift of trees from various battlefields of France, where Alabauia soldiers fought so gallantly. These much-prized trees are planted near the Confederate monument. Not far from these living memorials of famous battles, stands an elm tree planted by President Eliot of Harvard in 1909. As this distinguished educator happened to be in Montgomery on Arbor Day, the Federation of Women's Clubs persuaded him to com- memorate his visit in this pleasing fashion. Many shrubs from historic homes of Montgomery have been planted near the main entrance to the Capitol. Among these, is a sprig of laurel from the old Henry W. Hilliard Place, the orig- inal plant having been imported from Belgium. There are other interesting circumstances linked with the Capitol trees and shrubbery. When the south wing of the Capitol was completed, the women of the Montgomery Flower Growers Association, as a labor of love, undertook to plant the adjacent grounds with flowers and shrubs representative of all parts of Alabama. The central part of the State is typified by azaleas and hydrangeas; the northern, by snowballs and peonies; the southern,, by magnolias; the east and west by cape jessamines and myrtles. And for the whole State, bloom continuously the lovely roses in a spacious garden planned by the gracious daughter of the present governor and called "Anne Kilby's Rose Garden." CONFEDERATE MONUMENT. Some years after the Civil War, a few women of Alontgoniery met to discuss plans for a monument to the Confederate soldiers. These devoted workers, many of them "Belles of the 60's" formed the "Ladies Memorial Association," and for years worked im- ceasingly to secure funds with which to embody, in lasting form, ideals which they wished coming generations to love and venerate. The Confederate Monument, north of the Capitol, rose at last as the fulfillment of their dreams. To add to the historic value of the monument, Jetferson Davis consented to come to Montgomery and lay the corner stone. This event took place April 29th, 1886. Afterwards the State of Alabama contributed funds to help finish the monument. 14 GUIDE TO CITY OF AlONTGOMERY INTERIOR VIEW OF HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, 1860 It was dedicated to "The Soldiers and Seamen of the Con- federate Army." The monument consists of a base of stones rising in steps to the shaft. On the four sides are granite figures which personify Infantry, Cavalry, Artillery and The Navy. Suitable inscriptions in verse are on the pedestals beneath. Our Confederate Dead 1865 (South) They wore the grey Their mighty deeds in this Brief Period Wrought ; Years of oblivion shall cover in vain. On the bronze shaft which rises seventy feet in the air, are de- picted scenes from the stirring days of 1861-65. At the top of the monument is a figure symbolic of Patriotism. The Confederate Monument is a tribute to the Confederate Sol- dier, but in the hearts of Montgomery people, it stands also as a reminder of the undying devotion of her women to the cause which thev held so dear. INTERIOR OF CAPITOL. Hall of Fame. In the spacious lobby of the Capitol are found grouped in cases on each side, the flags wreathed round in glory, the battle flags of the Alabama regiments. Most of them, now the property of the GUIDE TO CITY OF MONTGOMERY 15 Department of Archives and History, were returned after the Spanish-American war. The walls, the corridors, and the rotunda are lined with portraits of Alabama governors. United States Sen- ators, leading educators, and world-famed physicians. State Departments. The Governor's office. Supreme Court offices and a very valu- able law library, the Department of Health, Education, Agricul- ture, Child Welfare, Archives and History, and the Pasteur In- THK SKMMES' FLAG 16 GUIDE TO CITY OF MONTGOMERY stitute, are among the important branches, having headquarters here. Department of Archives and History. The Department of Archives and History, founded in 1901, by the late Thomas McAdory Owen, is maintained on the second floor in the south wing of the Capitol. The collections consist of por- traits of the historical characters of the State, battle flags of the Confederate and other wars, specimen weapons of ail wars in which Alabamians have participated, Indian domestic arts and war implements, specimens of native birds and other fauna. The anthropological collection is the largest south of Washing- ton. Relics of especial interest are : The Bible upon which the oath of office was administered to Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America; a Ku Klux outfit, lone witness of the mysterious, invisible empire which did so much to maintain order in the dark days of Reconstruction; a key to the first Cap- itol of the State at old Cahaba ; a cannon that once fortified the old French Fort Toulouse constructed in 1714, at the confluence of the Coosa and Tallapoosa Rivers, afterwards renamed Fort Jack- son in honor of General Andrew Jackson, who camped there during the Creek Indian wars ; the oldest European relic in the United States, the breach block of a cannon from one of the Spanish vessels bringing De Soto to these shores only fifty years after the discovery of America. The Library of the Department consists of Alabama, Southern and general American material. It is the Southern depository of all bound duplicate newspaper volumes assembled by the Li- brary of Congress which relate to the Southern territory. It contains about 100,000 books, more than 30,000 pamphlets, 6,000 bound volumes of newspapers and periodicals going back of 1816. It receives regularly more than 500 periodicals. The department is custodian of all official records of the State. The late Dr. Henry E. Halbert, antiquarian and authority on the Choctaw Indians, who was connected for years with this de- partment left to it his translation of the Bible in the Choctaw language, an English translation from the French of Le Clerc Milfort's memoirs, and a manuscript History of the Choctaw Na- tion. Among many portraits of the State's leading sons and daugh- ters are found those of: Emma Sansom, girl heroine famous in Alabama history and literature, who risked her life to aid General Forrest and his men; J. Marion Sims, the well known surgeon; William L. Yancey, the orator of the Confederacy; Senators Mor- gan, Bankhead and Pettus ; General Joseph Wheeler; and Admiral Raphael Semmes, an authority on maritime law and commander of the famous ship, Alabama. Portraits which are the work of fa- mous artists are those of: John McKee, Indian agent and member of Congress, by Benjamin West; Andrew Jackson, by Earle ; Judge William Crawford of Tuscaloosa and Mrs. Crawford, by Thomas Sully; Oliver Fitts, father of Mrs. William Crawford, by Rem- brandt Peale. The Activities of the Department are: To collect and pre- serve all historical data and material; to compile and edit historic documents ; to publish quadrennially an Official and Statistical GUIDE TO CITY OF MONTGOMERY 17 INAUGURATION OF PRESIDENT JEFFERSON DAVIS (From an old painting) Register of the State. Aside from his duties as head of the De- partment of Archives and History, the Director conducts a sys- tem of traveling libraries and takes a leading part in the promo- tion and extension of library interests in the State. He is a mem- ber of the Workman's Compensation Commission, Secretary of the Alabama Memorial Commission, Secretary of Alabama Building Commission, and member of the State Pension Board. The Ala- bama Historical Society, the Alabama Anthropological Society, and the Bartram Natural History Society are associated i)Ut not directly connected with the Department. It is interesting to note that the plan of organization for this Department has been approved by the American Historical Soci- ety and that it has been adopted wholly or in part by the states which have since founded such a Department. It is to the late Dr. Thomas M. Owen that the credit for the conception and suc- cess of this Department is due. Mrs. Thomas M. Owen is his successor. Mr. Peter Brannon, who has been in the work since its foundation, is curator; Miss Mary R. Mullen is Librarian. View. The visitor will be well repaid for climbing the many stairs to the dome of the Capitol. Official guides, all "veterans of the sixties," are always on hand to show the way, and after the passage through the old fashioned trap door, one is re- warded by a magnificent view of the city and surrounding coun- try, blue hills, and shimmering rivers in the warm sunshine. Green pastures are not far away. Involuntarily, thoughts go back to the patriarch Moses, reviewing the Promised Land. Alabama is the land of Promise! 18 GUIDE TO CITY OF MONTGOMERY THE CAPITOL. Historic Events Connected With the Capitol. The Capitol of Alabama boasts a unique distinction; within its walls was born a nation. The city of Montgomery is known as the "Cradle of the Confederacy," and here was made and unfurled the first flag of the Confederate States. After the completion of the Capitol Building in 1847, the little city of its habitation soon began to show on its ruffled surface traces of every storm that swept over the land. No other place took a more vivid interest in the heated debates in Congress over the fatal territorial problems thrust upon us by the Mexican War. General Quitman and General Shields, fresh from the con- quests of this war, were given a public reception in the new Cap- itol. Two conventions assembled between May '47 and February '48. These conventions bore a common relation to one purpose. They inaugurated the popular movement in the Southern States against the doctrine of the Wilmot Proviso, and they made of Alabama the pivotal state of the Confederate cause. In orderly succes- sion of events, Alabama retained the leadership she then assumed — an inevitable sequence of events culminating in a federal or- ganization of the slave states in the convention held fourteen years later in '61. In 1852 the Legislature made an appropriation for a hospital at Tuscaloosa to care for the insane of the State. This was a step in work that came to be known all over the world. The first superintendent, Dr. Bryce, was the first physician to treat insanity as a disease. From 1852-'59 the Capitol shook to its foundations. Yancey. Hil- Hard, Clemens, C. C. Clay and many other eloquent speakers, threshed out in the State, the vital issues that Henry Clay. Cal- houn and Hayne were debating in the national capitol. Hotter and hotter grew the feeling, bitterer and bitterer grew the de- bates, ending finally in 1860-61 with the series of events which have made the Capitol at Montgomery historically famous the world over. /, \ [J ( >s '\ / . 1 \ ^ / THE D.WIS STAR THE D.WIS BIBLE GUIDE TO CITY OF MONTGOMERY 19 JEFFERSON DAVIS BEDKt)UM January, 1861, saw Alabama's famous Secession Convention. To this convention w^ent Wm. L. Yancey — a young man of great ora- torical powers and sweeping convictions for State's Rights with a platform in his pocket, and it was adopted word for word. This, the famous Alabama platform, was the first formal resolution stat- ing the view which more and more Southern men were beginning to hold, that neither Congress nor the Territorial Legislature had any right to prohibit slavery in the territories, but on the con- trary, should protect it. It was a time of tremendous excitement. State after state was seceding. Alabama being fourth, and all were sending delegates to Montgomery to form a new Confederacy. On February 4th, these delegates organized the Confederate States of America, of which Alabama became a member. A provisional constitution was adopt- ed. Jefferson Davis of Mississippi, was elected President and Alexander Stephens of Georgia, Vice President. On February the 18th. Davis and his cabinet took the oath of office. A star on the north portico marks the exact spot where Mr. Davis stood during the inauguration. A large platforin was built directly in front, and here sat the first Confederate Congress with the Ala- bama Legislature. The little city of 10,000 inhabitants was thronged with visitors from all the Cotton States. Some no doubt came by the old Montgomery railroad, which was opened up in the forties and apparently run by ante-bellum time, for one commentator says. "When the engine (made in Montgomery, it is interesting to note) gets out of fix, horses are substituted without hesitation or serious loss of time." 20 GUIDE TO CITY OF MONTGOMERY PERSONAL BELONGINGS OF JEFFERSON DAVIS On that fateful day, cannon boomed, steamboats at the wharves blew shrill blasts, church bells rang, and the Stars and Bars were flung from the top of the Capitol, announcing the birth of the new nation. Here the seat of government re- mained till May, 1861. The old building then passed through the terrible days of pillage and reconstruction. A detachment of soldiers under General Smith came up from Mobile and encamped in the ('apitol. Their mules, taken from the surrounding country-side, adorned former Goat Hill. The story goes that a belle of the town went up to General Headquarters to identify her father's stock, and was told that if she would ride up Dexter Avenue with General Smith she might have the sleekest and fattest of the lot. A Carpetbag and Negro Legisla- ture took the seats formerly occupied by the proudest men of the South. The convention of 1865, with all former law makers of Alabama excluded and negro voters in the ascendancy adopted a consti- tution abolishing slavery and the right of secession. 1875 saw a convention called for the purpose of remedying this constitu- tion, which had not dealt with state finances, school monies, etc. In 1901 this later constitution had become unwieldly and out-of- date, so a convention was called to amend it. The white voters had then come into their own and many vital questions were settled. In 1886 Jefferson Davis, only President of the Confederacy, came to Montgomery. The old Capitol saw stirring days again, a loy- alty touching and pathetic, was shown by the townspeople and crowds of visitors. A few years later, the President's body was brought to Montgomery and lay in state in the building where he achieved his greatest triumph. The Capitol was draped in black, tear-dimmed eyes and myriads of flowers showed the love and affection that modern Montgomery holds for Jefferson Da- vis. In 1898 Alabama heard but indistinctly the roll of drum beats. A Spanish-American war was being fought and her sons were doing their share as citizens of this great Republic. Richmond Pearson Hobson, a brave veteran, came straight home after the war, and delivered his maiden speech in the old Capitol. November 11, 1919, finds us a united nation. Governor Kilby stands on the Southern portico of the Capitol and receives re- turned soldiers from the great war. Again a great celebration takes place. Locomotives shriek, cannon boom, bells ring, sol- diers clad in khaki tramp up historic Dexter Avenue. Medals are GUIDE TO CITY OF MONTGOMERY 21 awarded and patriotic speeches delivered. Once more crowds surge around the old Capitol, but this time they cheer the advent of peace ! WHITE HOUSE OF THE CONFEDERACY. The first "White House of the Confederacy" stands on the cor- ner of Lee and Bibb streets. In the days of the 60's this was a fashionable residence district, but the business section has en- croached further and further upon it until the house is almost ob- scured from view. Garages and automobile warehouses now stand where once were old-fashioned gardens with stitT box hedges, magnolias and crepe inyrtle trees. The house will soon be moved to a more suitable location, the last Legislature having appropri- ated a sum of money for this purpose. It will probably be lo- cated near the Capitol where it will be preserved as a Confeder- ate museum. The Jefferson Davis collection now at the Capitol, will ultimately be removed to the "White House of the Confeder- acy." This collection is of peculiar interest, alike to strangers and to those who revere the memory of the Lost Cause, containing as it does, the personal belonging of President Davis, many of which were taken froin his home at Beauvoir, Mississippi, and presented by Mrs. Davis. Among other relics in this collection is the table on which Mr. Davis wrote his "Rise and Fall of the Southern Confederacy." Other treasures are General Lee's compass, and President Davis's sword. The spread on the Davis bed was con- tributed by Southern women, each woman crocheting one shell. This patriotic work of preserving the first White House of the Confederacy" is due to the untiring efforts of an organization of women known as "The White House Association" which for years has worked with this purpose in view. Its first officers were : * 1 1 md ■ FIRST WHITE HOUSE OF THE CONFEDERACY 22 GUIDE TO CITY OF MONTGOMERY X BIER OF JEFFERSON DAVIS Queen Regent, Mrs. Varina Jefferson Davis ; Regent, Airs. J.

Sanford, Sr. ; Treasurer, Mrs. J. C. Hausman. The house was built in 1840 by William Sayre, one of Mont- gomery's earliest settlers. He sold it to William Knox. George Mathews and Mr. Freeman were the next two owners. It then passed into the hands of Col. J. G. Winter, who- remodeled it and just before the war sold it to Colonel Edmond Harrison, Since the war it has belonged, first to William Crawford Bibb and now to the Tyson family. President Jefferson Davis and his family" occupied this house until the capitol was moved from Montgom- GUIDE TO CITY OF AIONTGOMERY 23 CORTEGE OF JEFFERSON DAVIS ery to Richmond. Life was very gay at the first "White House" for the South had not yet begun to feel the hardships of war and hope was high in every Confederate heart. Official receptions were held after the Washington custom, at which gathered the most brilliant society of the South. An arch- way of lights encircled the door to give welcome to the guests. Mrs. Jefferson Davis in her book says, "The house chosen for us was a gentleman's residence, room3' enough for our purpose on the corner of a street looking towards the Capitol. * * * We lived there over three months and the most brilliant levees held and the handsomest parties given while Mr. Davis was President of the Confederacy were given in that house." THE EXCHANGE HOTEL. Corner of Commerce and Montgomery Streets. The Exchange Hotel, a modern fire-proof building, stands on the spot made historic by the old Exchange, which was for more than half a century the center of the political and social life of Alabama. During the stirring days of the 60's history was made within its walls. From the balcony, Alabama's famous orator, William Lowndes Yancey, presented Jefferson Davis to the en- thusiastic throng below with the memorable words, "The man and the hour have met." The first Confederate cabinet met here. President Davis using as his private office one of the small par- lors of the hotel. The order to fire on Fort Sumter was issued 24 GUIDE TO CITY OF MONTGOMERY from this building. The message was carried to the telegraph office, situated in the Winter building across the street by Mr. Phil Gayle. The Davis famih^ lived at the Exchange for several weeks until the "White House" could be made ready for occupancy. When the capitol burned in 1849 the Legislature which was then in session held its meetings in the dining room of the Exchange. From that year to the present, its lobby has been the gathering place for the politicians of Alabama. Many famous statesmen, actors, and musicians have been the guests of the historic old ho- tel. Among them were Stephen Douglas. Grover Cleveland, Mil- lard Fillmore, Booth, Barrett, Joseph Jefferson, Lotta, Rhea. The old Exchange was built in 1846 by a company composed of Charles T. Pollard, Charles Crommelin, William Taylor, Frances Gilmer and others. Samuel Holt was the architect and J. J. Stew- art was the first proprietor. Several years later it passed into the hands of Lanier and Son, who had associated with them A. P. Watt and later A .T. Givhan. The Lanier family have held an interest in the Exchange for four generations and here the gift- ed brothers, Sidney and Clifford, passed a part of their young man- hood. Sidney Lanier, musician and poet, brought all the music and ro- mance of his soul into this old hotel as night clerk. Tradition says that guests of the hostelry were often awakened at midnight by heavenly strains of music. Stealing from his bedroom, each would find the rotunda crowded with eager listeners and the un- conscious Lanier in the office, playing his flute. The Cradle of the Confederacy Chapter, United Daughters of the Confederac3^ has placed a bronze tablet in the Montgomery street entrance of the Exchange Hotel, commemorating the historic events. |"Cbe Count of Kir^^ eotton" *w\ -^^^^jwi w^ Court 5quap "n|ot?ts:on?< COURT SQUARE, OLD EXCHANGE HOTEL IX CENTER OF GROUP OF BUILDINGS GUIDE TO CITY OF MONTGOMERY 25 MONTGOMERY COUNTY COURT HOUSE WILSON'S RAID. When the Civil War was drawing to a close the Federal General Wilson with his command of cavalry was sent on a raid through Georgia and Alabama — a section of the South left like many oth- ers, with only old men, women and children to defend it. Reports of his deeds in Selma filled the people of Montgomery with alarm, since all knew that General Buford with his hastily organized militia was totally unable to oppose this force. Family silver was buried, horses and mules were sent to outlying plan- tations, and men wanted by the Federal government left town. On the morning of April 11, 1865, General Buford left the city he was unable to defend, in order to spare it bombardment, taking with him all the military stores that it was possible to carry. On the night of the eleventh, the city was a scene of feverish activity. Determined that nothing useful should fall into Federal hands, the people of the city gathered all the cotton together and placed it in warehouses near the river. That night the entire amount, eighty-eight thousand bales, was set ablaze. So intense was the heat of this fire that buildings nearby were endangered. The entire population assembled and formed bucket lines which kept the roofs of the threatened houses saturated, and the spread of the conflagration was thus prevented. Eye witnesses have said that the sight of the city illuminated by this eerie glow made a life-long impression on them. On the morning of the twelfth. General Wilson entered the city. He remained a week resting his command and collecting every- thing of value from the surrounding country. His efforts in this latter direction met with little success, due to General Buford's foresight and the sacrifice of the inhabitants, who destroyed ev- erything rather than have it fall into Federal hands. 26 GUIDE TO CITY OF MONTGOMERY During their stay the invaders made themselves much at home. Tradition has it that General Wilson and his staff established headquarters at 440 S. Perry street, the place known as the Teague home. Soldiers camped on a vacant Court street lot where the Sophronia Apartments now stand. The property of civilians was protected by many clever devices. One woman plucked about three quarters of the feathers from all her chickens, and informed all foraging patrols that they were suffering from a strange malady. In due time this particular flock was eaten in proper form by its rightful owners. General Wilson accomplished little of military value during his stay. On the morning of the nineteenth he moved on to Tuske- gee and thence to Columbus, Georgia, where he fought the last battle of the war. Here, as in Alabama, his path was marked by burning houses and devastated fields. HISTORIC SITES AND BUILDINGS. Montgomery Hall. Where the present Post Office now stands on the corner of Lawrence Street and Dexter Avenue was the once-famous Mont- gomery Hall. It was here that the troops gathered before leav- ing for the Mexican war; here that the old stage lines discharged and received passengers, for this old hotel was the gathering place for central Alabama. CITY BUILDING GUIDE TO CITY OF .MONTGOMERY 27 Yancey, standing on the front steps of the old Alontgomery Hall, delivered his address of welcome to the returning heroes from the Mexican war. During the War Between the States this building was used as a hospital for soldiers. In the present Post Office the Francis Marion Chapter, D. A. R. has placed a tablet containing the names of fourteen soldiers of the American Revolution, who lived in Montgomerj' County, Ala- bama. First Confederate Headquarters The first Confederate Headquarters were located at 103 Com- merce Street. A tablet marks the building. Here was located the first offices of the Confederate Government from Feb. 22, 1861 to May 21, 1861 Placed by the Sophie Bibb Chapter U. D. C. June 31, 1910. First Church Building. The first church building in Montgomery was on the present site of the Court Street Methodist Church. This building was used by the different religious bodies as early as 1827, but was relinquished to the Methodists in 1830. This building was later removed to the corner of Holcombe and Alildred streets and was used until re- cently by a negro congregation, the church being widely known as "Old Ship Church." Slave Markets. There were several places on Dexter Ave- nue where slaves were auctioned off though the general method of trading in negroes was to buy and sell on commission rather than on the block. When an es- tate became insolvent, or had to be sold for a division of property, the slaves were brought to town to be sold at auction. For several days before a sale the negroes were on exhibit and it was the custom of the negro men dressed in bright red coats adorned with brass buttons to march down Dexter Avenue (then Market Street) and to mount a wooden platform on Court Square where they spent the day picking banjos, singing, and dozing in the sun- shine. The negro women and children were usually kept within a building court street set aside for them, though they too methodist church 2« GUIDE TO CITY OF MONTGOMERY sometimes sat around on the benches in front of a slave market. The prospective buyers had every opportunity to question and examine the slaves before the day of the auction. Families w^ere usually sold as a unit for it was neither humane nor expedient to separate husband from wife or mother from child, and was sel- dom done. The prices for an adult slave were from one thousand to five thousand dollars. Trained carpenters, brick layers, blacksmiths, cooks, seamstresses and maids brought higher prices than farm hands. One of these slave markets was on Dexter Avenue where the Grand Theater now stands. There were two others across the street and a fourth on tlie corner of Lawrence and Monroe. The Winter Building, Corner S. Court and Dexter Avenue. The Winter building which is now nearing its centennial is inti- mately connected with the history of Montgomery for it was orig- inally the property of John Gindrat who in the early days of Montgomery was notably active in advancing its growth and pros- perity. He served the town as Intendant (Mayor) and was President of the first bank in the city. In the history of the Southern Confederacy this building is of especial note. In the sixties it was the home of the Western Un- ion Telegraph Company and from their office, April 12, 1861, Pres- ident Davis' order "Fire on Fort Sumter," was telegraphed to General Beauregard, at Charleston, South Carolina. WINTER BUILDING (Prom which the order was sent, "Fire on Fort Sumter. GUIDE TO CITY OF MONTGOMERY 29 fr^)ii«nieii'ir;hlllllSlBi UNION STATION, BUILT 1S97 Old Montgomery Theater. Beaux and belles the memory of whose wit and grace still lin- gers among all but the youngest generation of Montgomerians once thronged the narrow lobby on North Perry Street where now beets and onions, turnips and cabbages are kings. Through this present market place used to pass the members of the Joie de Vie Club, famous in the social life of the city's past, to group themselves, a glittering horseshoe, round the entire front row of the balcony. The theatre was built in 1860. As it was on the direct route from Washington to New Orleans, the best players always stopped for a night or, in the older days, for a week in stock companies. Old stagers still love to talk of the eccentric, half mad John Wilkes Booth who was an even greater actor than his brother, Edwin. Growing reminiscent, they tell how at a midnight revel at Young's Cafe, then Fleming's famous resort for the wits of the town, Booth shocked himself and his friends into soberness by reciting the Lord's Prayer. Edwin Booth and Barrett played Othello here, Joe Jefferson his Rip Van Winkle. Few indeed were the stars of the American stage who did not come to the Montgomery Theatre. This old theatre has a more intimate connection with the South- ern National air, Dixie, than is generally known. Emmet had sung Dixie in New York, New Orleans and Mobile before he reached Montgomery. At that time Montgomery's small first orchestra was under the leadership of Mr. H. F. Arnold, of Saxonj', who still lives, now an honored citizen of Memphis, Tennessee. He was so impressed by Emmett's song that he went behind the scenes to request a copy. Emmett explained that as he had no knowl- edge of notes, the music had never been written. "Besides," he 30 GUIDE TO CITY OF MONTGOMERY added, "the song has made no impression whatever in other cities." Mr. Arnold asked to hear the air again. Emmet obligingly strum- med out the tune and there in the old Montgomery theatre Mr. Arnold wrote on the wall the music of Dixie. Later he wrote the score and presented copies to his orchestra. Dixie became the song of the hour. When Stephen A. Douglas visited Mont- gomery, Miss Maggie Mitchell, a well known singer of the time, was playing here in stock company. Dressed as the goddess of Liberty with an improvised flag of red and white flannel, she sang Dixie at the Douglas meeting. Enthusiasm was cyclonic in inten- sity. It swept the audience ofif its feet. When Jefferson Davis was inaugurated, the song was played up and down Dexter Ave- nue. It was played just before Mr. Davis stepped forth to take the oath of office at the Capitol. Dixie had become the war song of the Confederacy. First Hospital for Women. The first hospital in the world that was devoted exclusively to the treatment of diseases of women was located at 21 S. Perry street. Here, in a small frame building. Dr. J. Marion Sims began the work which made him famous throughout the civilized world. Estelle Hall. Estelle Hall, corner of Dexter Avenue and S. Perry, and Con- cert Hall, adjoining on Dexter Avenue, were the scenes of brilliant ante-bellum balls. Here the inaugural ball was given to Governor Pr Sinjiifcme trjMonhome.ey.

All of the main highwaj's are improved to the county line, while there are many miles of connecting highwaj^s which have made the famous Montgomery "loops" rides the joy of vis- iting motorists. One can leave the city and ride over a "loop" of nearly any distance — from five to seventy-five miles — and see a great deal of the county in a very short time. There are now nearly five hundred miles of fine graded gravel roads radiating from Montgomerj- to the county lines. An abund- ance of good road material in the numerous beds of clay gravel which are to be found in the different parts of the county, is con- sidered one of the county's chief assets. These highways have all been carefully graded, and are well kept, and there is not a time in the year when trucks and automobiles cannot pass over them at full legal speed. Many of the roads connect with improved roads of adjoining counties, and the tourist will find much of interest in visiting by motor the neighboring towns of Troy, Sel- ma, Tuskegee, etc. The ride to Tuskegee over the ^It. Meigs road is interesting, not only be- cause that city is the home of the well known "Tuskegee Institute" for Negroes, but also because there is no road of more historic interest in the State. It bears on its surface a brilliant pa- geant reaching back into the dim days of legend.
