NAME, GEOGRAPHY, RIVERS, POPULATION, PRINCIPAL HISTORI- CAL EVENTS, AND INDIAN TRIBES ONCE INHABITANTS OF ALABAMA.
1
NAME OF ALABAMA.
The State of Alabama derived its name from the great river Alabama, which drains its centre. The river took its name from the Alabamas, an early tribe of Indians who once lived upon its banks, at or near the site of the present city of Montgomery. : rom what the tribe derived its name, or the meaning thereof, is not known .*
GEOGRAPHY OF ALABAMA.
General Boundaries of Alabama .- The general bounda- ries of Alabama are as follows : Beginning at the point where . the thirty-first parallel of north latitude crosses the Perdido
* The popular idea of the origin of the name. Alabama, and the meaning of the word, here we rest, took its rise in a pretty legend connected with this tribe of In- dians. It is said they were expelled from Northern Mexico during the rude assaults upon that kingdom by Cortez, and in their wandering> in search of other homes. crossed a noble river, now the Alabama, when one of their chieftains, impressed with the beauty of the new-found country, and the security which the mighty stream flow- ing behind him .afforded against pursuing enemies, struck his spear in the ground beneath the shade of a magnificent oak, and exclaimed, Halama !- that is to say, Here we rest ; - and from this incident it is generally believed the tribe was there- after known as the Alabamas. The old seal of the State (a skeleton map of Alabama suspended on a tree , and winch continued to be the seal until changed in Idos, was evidently designed to perpetuate this supposed incident.

Boundary Between Alabama and Georgia .- The west bank of the Chattahoochee river to the point on Miller's Bend next above the mouth of Uchee creek ; thence in a direct line to Nickajack.
Boundary Between Alabama and Florida. - The "Mound " or " Ellicott " line, blazed all the way from near Irwin's Mills, on the Chattahoochee river, to the Perdido, and further designated by mounds of earth one mile apart.
Latitude and Longitude of Alabama .- Alabama lies be- tween latitude 30°, 10' and 35º N., and longitude 842, 53' and 88°, 30' W.
Area of Alabama .-- Square miles, 52,250 ; divided-water surface 710, land surface 51,540. Acres, 32,462,080.

Sea Coast of Alabama .- Alabama has only about sixty miles of sea coast, extending from the Perdido. river to the Mississippi line ; a large portion of the southern boundary of the State being cut off from the Gulf of Mexico by an inter- vening strip of Florida .*
Mountain Ranges and General Topography of Ala- bama. -- The Alleghany mountains exhaust themselves in Northeastern Alabama, rendering that portion of the State's surface uneven and broken, although the elevation is nowhere
* Effort- have been made to annex this strip to Alabama, but so far without suc- cess. A commission was at one time appointed to treat with Florida on the sub- ject. Alabama proposed to pay $1,000,000 for it.

very great. The range extends west, with a slight bend to the south, and forms the dividing line between the waters of the Tennessee river and the other rivers of Alabama, the former emptying into' the Ohio at Paducah, and all the latter ultimately flowing southward into the Gulf of Mexico. From this range the face of the country slopes to the south, and is somewhat uneven as far as the centre of the State, where begin the rolling prairies, pine barrens and fertile allu- vial bottoms. The extreme southern portion is flat, and but slightly elevated above the level of the gulf.
