The story of Alabama's five capitals—St. Stephens, Huntsville,
Cahawba, Tuscaloosa, and Montgomery—begins in a rough
semi-civilized Washington County village and ends at the old cotton
town in central Alabama. Between these bookending governmental
centers, the capitals have criss-crossed the state from north to
south and east to west, following the political powers and fortunes
of the times, and amid more noble arguments that the capital should
be near the center of the state. It is the story of Alabama's
government, buildings, and laws. It is the story of towns, some
that sprang up and died when the capital moniker left. Most of all,
the story of Alabama's capitals is the story of its people: some
whose undying devotion to statehood brought Alabama to life; some
who used state government in their rise to power and financial
prominence; some whose generosity and pureness of heart kept
Alabama on solid moral and financial ground; and some whose
prejudices held back this state when it should have moved forward.
The Five Capitals of Alabama paints a dramatic picture of where we
began, where we are today, and the twisting journey taken along the
way.
