Peter Brannon used notes and statistical data to write a story about them.The Kendall Lewis tavern was on the Federal Road from 1815 to 1828. It as located about 400 yards West and on the left side of the road from Fort Brainbridge.

Today's story is about some people who were here before 1819 ---Alabama's first people, the Native Americans. Written history on Alabama's Native Americans is limited because they only had mostly oral history --- handed down for generations.

The unique thing about Blue Springs Park is that old-timers will tell you that the spring first appeared north of the highway approximately 300 yards from the present site. They said that the spring suddenly dried up and reappeared just south of the highway at the west end of Choctawhatchee river bridge. The question is why?

A short (approximately 30 minute) drive on Highway 10 in southeast, Alabama from Clio in Barbour County to Abbeville in neighboring Henry County, takes, you through three historic sites; the birthplace of Gov. George Wallace, a famous spring that has moved twice and a childhood home of Rosa Parks. If you travel a little further within Barbour County, you can also visit the birthplace of eight Alabama governors.

Entrepreneurship among women must have been strong in early 1900s in Alabama. We had a previous podcast on the Birmingham, Alabama woman who invented the windshield wiper now one who invented the Alabama indestructible doll. ......During its peak, a doll factory in Roanoke, Alabama, operated by a woman, produced ten thousand of her dolls each year. The dolls were known by several names: Alabama Baby, Alabama Indestructible Doll, Roanoke Doll, or Ella Smith Doll
