  1. Too bad Andrew Jackson spent most of his town in the Vicinty of what today is Mount Vernon, McIntosh and Calvert Alabama which between was called Jackson at some point but was moved a few more miles north.

    Alabama Historians need access to primary sources badly and Pickett won’t do.

  2. Consuelo Samarripa – I did read it and it broke my heart to once again read the Anglos patronizing and hateful words. To be described as “…after all, they are ugly lumps of things. They are thick and short…” was hurtful. My people are beautiful, cultured, clever, intelligent and family oriented. The observations in this article would be banned today in any credible newspaper.

    1. I didn’t mean to hurt you. It was a piece of history of the time. My sincere apologies if it upset you.

    2. Thank you – I appreciate that.

    3. Hate was/is the farthest thing from my mind.

    4. Perhaps – but that certainly was not the case with Anne Newport Royall.
