"What is the 'meaning' of names like "Coosa" and "Tallapoosa"? Who named the "Alabama" and "Tombigbee" and "Tennessee" rivers? How are "Cheaha" and "Conecuh" and "Talladega" pronounced? How did "Opelika" and "Tuscaloosa" get their names? Questions like these, which are asked by laymen as well as by historians, geographers, and students of the English language, can be answered only by study of the origins and history of the Indian names that dot the map of Alabama.--from the Foreword Originally published by Professor Read in 1937, this volume was revised, updated, and annotated in 1984 by James B. McMillan and remains the single best compedium on the topic.

This book explores with my six-year-old grandson Max the kinds of places he lives. When he asked whether Alabama was in Texas or whether Camarillo was a state, I knew he needed some help in sorting out the kinds of places he lived in. "Alabama--Is That in Texas?" introduces Max to these places. They include a house, a street, a zip code, city, county, state . . . right on up through a planet, star system, and galaxy. In the final analysis, he learns that he is a child of the Universe, like you and me, and that he has a lot of places to call home.
