Title A name given to the resource Rooster Bridge in Demopolis, 1919 Subject The topic of the resource Bridges Wilson, Woodrow, 1856-1924 Tombigbee River (Miss. and Ala.) Description An account of the resource Frank I. Derby, organizer of the 1919 Rooster Auction in Demopolis, Ala., accepts a rooster from President Woodrow Wilson. Derby is holding the rooster on a tray. The auction was held to raise money to build a bridge spanning the Tombigbee River. The Dixie Overland Highway Association was looking to complete a major road from Savannah, Ga., to San Diego, California,. The only spot along the route without a bridge was between Marengo and Sumter counties; a ferry connected them. Derby came up with the idea for a rooster auction to raise money for the bridge. At that time cock fighting was both legal and popular. Calling on politicians and businessmen, and working with others in both counties, Derby organized the famous two-day event. Working with Alabama's senator, they convinced President Woodrow Wilson and the prime minister of France, Georges Clemenceau; Great Britain's David Lloyd George, and Vittoria Orlando of Italy to donate roosters. Roosters were also donated by Gen. John J. Pershing and Hollywood personalities Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, and Mary Pickford. Helen Keller sent a little blue hen. A rooster named "Bob Jones", which served as a model for auction publicity, was named for the famous evangelist. It sold for $7,500. Some buyers donated their roosters back again to be resold. The two-day event featured the largest barbecue and Brunswick stew dinner ever held in Alabama. The state legislature closed up shop, and all the politicians came to Demopolis. Trains carried folks from all over to the small West Alabama city. The sale raised enough in pledges to build the bridge, but not all the money was collected. The auction raised awareness that a bridge was needed, and the state came through. With local, state and federal money, the bridge was built. The bridge was named "Memorial Bridge," although no one in the area ever called it that. Everyone always referred to it as the "Rooster Bridge." Finally, under Congressman E.O. Eddins, the name was officially changed to the Demopolis Rooster Bridge honoring R.I. Derby. (Information provided by Patsy Derby Chaney, daughter of R.I.

Trestles Bridges Mobile and Ohio Railroad Company Description An account of the resource The railroad trestle across the Black Warrior River between Tuscaloosa and Northport as it appears in 2015. The Mobile & Ohio (M&O) Railroad trestle is a wooden and steel truss bridge that was constructed across the Black Warrior River in Tuscaloosa for the M&O Railroad in 1898. Civil engineer Benjamin Hardaway, an 1887 graduate of the University of Alabama and former Tuscaloosa city engineer, designed the trestle. Originally 135 feet high with a 110 ft. clearance, it was once considered by many to be the country's longest trestle at 3600 feet. The designed included a passage for steamboats. The M & O ran between Columbus, Miss., and Montgomery. Until the M & O arrived, the Alabama and Chattanooga (known after 1878 as the Alabama Great Southern or AGS) was the area’s only railroad link. In the 1930’s M&O Railroad became the Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Railroad and then the Illinois Central Gulf and then the Kansas City Southern.

A ceremony to celebrate its arrival was planned for October 28, 1913, but due to the delay, the ceremony postponed. The barge was different from any seen in the area before, designed after the barges used in Holland. Built largely of steel, the barge could run into any number of sand bars and mud banks with no serious damage. It had a maximum capacity of 1,000 tons and, with a maximum load, drew six feet of water. The barge was said to have come up the river with little difficulty. Several times the barge ran on sand bars, but was able to get off without assistance. At Lock 3, a line from a government boat got tangled up in the barge’s propeller and divers had to cut the rope with knives. The exercises took place at Lock 10 where a platform had been erected for speakers and the christening of the barge by Miss Eleanore Blair and Miss Cherokee Van de Graaff. Barge No. 3 was given the name “Tuscaloosa.” Speakers were S.H. Sprott, Probate Judge W.W. Brandon, and U.S. Sen. John H. Bankhead. After Friday’s celebrations, loading the pig iron on Saturday was a laborious task because of the lack of wharfing at Holt. The “Tuscaloosa” took its leave at daybreak on Sunday morning, leaving officials talking about ways to erect wharves in the city in the quickest manner. All agreed that the Warrior River had been put to its severest test since the water level was at its lowest point of the year. It surpassed all expectations. https://d1y502jg6fpugt.cloudfront.net/2539/archive/files/10e6ddf4f61809425c62cd43017eac40.jpg?Expires=1777507200&Signature=HtqJcdqqdVDcuYzmM8LsIPyYKeKWLdi5LR48rcVgVXvwbOMCmSoysQNAgQ0o6xwnaJvPIMLJsJGZ48QrRbssoq9mThkD0aDXZ1Z7BBs6dkECHvdUjbFLLZQDvXXDLN7kBFIRLkvrTX34RVJK0yQK7Kg7Mbk31qrYJuFJA2GWF0HcLc2mqEl3%7ExYEZUKrARsa2G5Q01Rc9KkJDq-QRhz5xLqVoZFezQ6GWAcjfvsmMS0Q8bCST6aev17o7OUk8-kzdVmJdwSIHt8A%7Ea1iVG9oSSHC4wKak8L4vRPtsO6fU2rGhFlcn4QKlpDC%7EMd4v4piFATY3T%7ECvhNMsjfOhdxEfg__&Key-Pair-Id=K6UGZS9ZTDSZM 7a8fa67c70e64901f9d58b5de7d08383 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The barge, expected on a Tuesday, passed the city at 3:30 a.m. on Thursday, October 30, 1913, announcing its passage with its shrill whistle below the M. & O. railroad bridge. Scores of people raced to the river to catch a glimpse of the long-awaited barge. The barge continued up the river to Holt where it was expected to take on 100 tons of pig iron, and then on to the tipple, a structure used at a mine to load the extracted product for transport, to be loaded with 450 tons of coal.

Title A name given to the resource Invitation to Open Warrior Celebration, 1913 Description An account of the resource The invitation to the Open Warrior ceremony is dated Oct. 28, 1913, but delays getting the barge from New Orleans to Tuscaloosa caused the ceremony to be postponed until Oct. 31, 1913.
