1932 Tornado
Description
An account of the resource
This photo shows the aftermath of a tornado that hit Northport and Tuscaloosa County in 1932. It was taken by the 106th Observation Squadron of the Alabama National Guard and shows the Black Warrior River, the railroad trestle and Northport. The trestle appears intact, but damage is shown all around it.
This destructive F4 tornado on March 21, 1932, —the first of 10 this day in Alabama - began near Ralph, moved into the Fosters area, proceeded to western Tuscaloosa, and then struck the business section of Northport, destroying or damaging more than 400 homes and the school for black students. It destroyed about 100 homes in Tuscaloosa County as well as the Tuscaloosa Country Club but narrowly missed downtown Tuscaloosa. F2 damage occurred in the west side of town. About 2,000 people were left homeless from this tornado, and 37 were killed in the area.

Old State Capitol
Description
An account of the resource
Alumnae Hall was located in the north building on the 2nd and 3rd floors. The room was originally used as the Senate Chamber when used as the state capitol.
The Alabama State Capitol was located in Tuscaloosa from 1826 until 1847. The stone foundation of the capitol was laid in 1827 and work was completed in the late fall of 1829.
After the seat of government was moved to Montgomery in 1847, the Tuscaloosa Capitol and its furnishing were deeded to the University of Alabama to be used for educational purposes. In 1857, the University Board of Trustees leased the building for ninety nine years to the newly formed Baptist-affiliated Alabama Central Female College. At this time, a large brick four story dormitory was constructed at the west of the building. . The building was used by the Alabama Central Female College until it was destroyed by fire on August 22, 1923 when a construction worker accidentally set it ablaze. He was soldering a piece of flashing while repairing the dome and the building caught fire. The historic building was totally destroyed by fire. In the 1930's, the site was cleared for use as a park.
Archibald John Battle was president 1860-1862 (he later served as president of Mercer University from 1872-1889). Joshua Hill Foster was joint principal from 1869-71 and president from 1871-1873 (then became faculty member at University of Alabama until 1892); John F. Lanneau served as president from 1873-79 (later serving as president of Baptist Female College in Lexington, MO and Pierce City College also in MO.
The ruins of the old Alabama State Capitol building can still be seen in Capitol Park in Tuscaloosa.

Gorgas, William Crawford, 1854-1920
Description
An account of the resource
Biography from the Dedication of the Gorgas Steam Plant that occurred on September 16, 1944 at Gorgas, Alabama.
"William Crawford Gorgas was born October 3, 1854, near Mobile, Alabama, the son of General Josiah Gorgas and Amelia Gayle Gorgas.
Failing to secure an appointment to West Point, he decided to enter the Army as a doctor. Graduating from Bellevue Hospital in New York City, he passed his army medical examinations and in June 1880 was enrolled in the U.S. Army as a lieutenant.
Shortly after the Spanish-American War began, he was promoted to major and served as brigade surgeon during the entire Santiago campaign, later becoming sanitary officer of the City of Havana. Experiments, conducted by Major Gorgas at Havana, confirmed by mosquitoes. Because of the success in eliminating yellow fever from Havana, he was made Assistant Surgeon General of the United States Army in 1903, with the rank of colonel.
President Theodore Roosevelt in 1904 called him to another and vastly more difficult job of health protection on the Isthmus of Panama. The French had failed in an earlier attempt to build a canal from the Atlantic to the Pacific, because of the heavy toll of lives from yellow fever and malaria.
General Gorgas and his associates had important new knowledge unknown to the French regarding the habits of two mosquitoes, the Stegomyia, carrier of yellow fever, and the Anopheles, carrier of malaria fever. Through their efforts, the Canal Zone was soon changed from one of the most dangerous to one of the safest places to live.
Today the Canal stands out not only one of our greatest engineering accomplishments, but, also, as a monument to the many years of patient medical research and human sacrifice which helped make the engineering accomplishment possible.
In 1914, Colonel Gorgas was promoted to Surgeon General of the United States Army, with the rank of brigadier general, becoming major general in 1916. He was retired in 1918.
He died in London on July 4, 1920, at the beginning of a trip to Africa in the interest of yellow fever control. Shortly before his death, King George V of England made him a Knight Commander of the Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George"
William Crawford Gorgas is connected to Tuscaloosa and West Alabama as that his father Josiah was president of the University of Alabama.

Description
An account of the resource
Aliceville is the largest city in Pickens County, Alabama. It was home to a World War II German prisoner of war camp, which is now the focus of the Aliceville Museum.
Located in the southern part of the county, Aliceville is named for Alyce Searcy Cochrane (1875-1922), wife of the city’s founder, John Taylor Cochrane (1873-1938).
Cochrane was a West Alabama railroad pioneer who worked with a group of civic leaders in Carrollton to build a railroad to connect the Pickens County seat to the Mobile and Ohio Railroad’s new line at Reform – 10 miles away. Later, Cochrane had the foresight to run the railroad south and west toward the Tombigbee River, where he established the new town of Aliceville on land he had purchased. The line was first brought into Aliceville in 1902.
The little railroad was eventually extended by Cochrane into Mobile and was named the Alabama, Tennessee and Northern Railroad.
The town of Aliceville was incorporated in 1907. In 1908 the town decreed that every street should have ten-foot sidewalks, built and maintained by the property owners; this was essentially complete by 1910. By that time the town was considering installing water, sewer, and water utilities.
In World War II, the German prisoner of war camp was located in Aliceville to house 6,000 prisoners, delivered to the site by St. Louis – San Francisco Railroad. The population of the camp rarely exceeded 3,500 in its use from 1942-45. The Aliceville Museum and Cultural Arts Center opened in February 1995. The museum has permanent exhibits on Camp Aliceville.
