This is the story of the Alabama River, which runs from Montgomery Al. to Mobile Al and its trip through the history of the State of Alabama. With a particular focus on the Edmund Pettus Bridge, this beautifully illustrated story tells the history of Alabama, particularly during the Civil Rights Movement in the 60s.
