註釋Chilton County is the Peach Capital of Alabama, a distinction that has influenced the customs and time-honored traditions of its people for more than 150 years. Established during the turbulent aftermath of the Civil War, the county couldn't help but acquire a unique and fascinating history. Home to the first hydroelectric project in the state, a secretive prisoner of war camp during World War II and the site of a tragic aviation disaster involving the renowned Blackwood Brothers Gospel Quartet, Chilton County serves as something of a magnet for the unexpected. From the peach orchards to the world headquarters of the International Possum Growers and Breeders Association, author Billy J. Singleton provides a captivating journey into the history and heritage of a rural Alabama community. Book jacket.
