Prepare to be amazed by the stories of resilience, ambition, and progress that lie at the heart of Alabama's past.
The Early Frontiers of Alabama
In the early 16th century, European explorers began venturing into Alabama's untamed wilderness, encountering native communities such as the Choctaw, Creek, and Cherokee tribes.

Witness the clash of cultures and the profound influence of indigenous peoples on the formation of Alabama's identity.
From Territory to Statehood

“A well-written, nicely comprehensive, and inclusive social history of Alabama before and immediately after statehood.”—H-AmIndian
Alabama endured warfare, slave trading, squatting, and speculating on its path to becoming America’s twenty-second state, and Daniel S. Dupre brings its captivating frontier history to life in Alabama’s Frontiers and the Rise of the Old South.
Dupre’s vivid narrative begins when Hernando de Soto first led hundreds of armed Europeans into the region during the fall of 1540. Although this early invasion was defeated, Spain, France, and England would each vie for control over the area’s natural resources, struggling to conquer it with the same intensity and ferocity that the Native Americans showed in defending their homeland. Although early frontiersmen and Native Americans eventually established an uneasy truce, the region spiraled back into war in the nineteenth century, as the newly formed American nation demanded more and more land for settlers. Dupre captures the riveting saga of the forgotten struggles and savagery in Alabama’s—and America’s—frontier days.
