Publisher's Synopsis
"Published in conjunction with the exhibition A History of Mobile in 22 Objects (April 24-October 1, 2020), this catalogue will feature twenty-two objects from the History Museum of Mobile's own collection that weave together over 300 years of Mobile history. Scholars and historians have contributed essays that examine twenty-two topics, among them the impact of yellow fever, the links between Mardi Gras and Reconstruction, the role women at the Alabama State Docks played in mobilizing for World War II, "azalea mania" in the post-war years, the city's rich literary tradition, and the impact of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill"--.
