COFFEE SPRINGS. Post office and sta- tion on the Central of Georgia Railway, in the northern part of Geneva County, about 9 miles north of Geneva, and about 25 miles south of Elba. Population: 1910-503. It was incorporated in 1900. The Bank of Coffee Springs (State) is located there, and it has public schools, Methodist and Baptist churches.

It was settled early in the history of south- east Alabama. It was in Coffee County pre- vious to 1868, at which time a part of Coffee was annexed to Geneva County. It derives its name from several mineral springs, and has been a resort for health-seekers since pioneer days. The springs give rise to a large creek, called Coffee Creek, that flows into the Choctawhatchee River. Pine forests nearby are the occasion for several sawmills and other lumbering industries.

COFFEEVILLE. Interior village and post- office in Clarke County, located in Sec. 9, T. 9 N., R. I. W., on the east bank of Tom- bigbee River, 22 miles west of Grove Hill, and 85 miles north of Mobile. Population: 1912-220. It is on the old stagecoach road from Mobile to Greensboro, where this road crosses the Tombigbee. The town was named for Gen. John Coffee. In 1808, Wil- liam Murrell settled here. The first set- tlers who followed were the Major Thomas Figures, James, Robert, Hugh and Charles Cassity, Nathaniel Malone, Deas and Thorn- ton families. The first preacher was a a Methodist, Rev. Matthew Sturdivant, who preached here in 1808. In 1816 a Baptist church, was built two miles north of the town, and is in use at this date. Cotton was shipped by barge to Mobile, and on the re- turn trip, these pole-propelled boats went up the river as far as Tuscaloosa. The first cotton gin for this region was built by Josiah Wells. Within a few miles of the village are Turkey and Mitchell Indian Reservations.

COHATCHIE. A small Creek Indian village in Talladega County, and on the south side of Tallasseehatchee Creek, near its influx with the Coosa River. It appears that this village was on or near the site, formerly occupied by Abihka (q. v.). The word is Creek, Koha hatchi, meaning, "Cane or reed river."

COKE INDUSTRY. Alabama ranks second in the Union as a coke producing area. The greater part of the coke is used in the iron furnaces of the State, but some is shipped to other States, and to Mexico and South America, for smelting and foundry purposes. Most of the coke is made from slack coal, but the entire output of some mines has been used for that purpose. The major portion of the Alabama coke was made, until a few years ago, in ordinary beehive ovens, but at present the larger part is manufactured in retort and by-product ovens. The average production per oven in 1914 in the by-product plants was 2,700 tons, and of the beehive plants, 411 tons. Nearly all the product of the retort ovens is used by the producers in their own furnaces, while a great part of the beehive coke is sold on the market for foundry and other purposes. The product of coke in the State for the year 1880 amounted to 60,781 short tons valued at $183,063. In 1890 it was 1,809,964 tons valued at $2,589,- 447. In 1900 the quantity had almost doubled, being 2,110,837 tons valued at $5,- 629,423. In 1914 (the latest available data) the total product was 3,084,149 tons valued at $8,408,443.

HISTORY OF ALABAMA

COLBERT COUNTY. Created by the leg- Islature, February 6, 1867; abolished Novem- ber 29, 1867 hy the Constitutional Conven- tion, and reestablished by the legislature, December 9, 1869. Its territory was taken from Franklin County. Its area is 618 square miles, or 395,520 acres.

It was given the surname of the Colbert brothers. George and Levi, noted Chickasaw chiefs, who resided in the county.

On the adoption of the original act, L. B. Cooper, F. C. Vinson, H. Pride, J. C. Goodloe, William Dickson and Carter Blanton were appointed commissioners and to hold an elec- tion, May 6, 1867, for authorized county officers. Until otherwise provided, the act declared Tuscumbia the seat of justice.

The constitutional convention of 1867, hy an ordinance adopted November 29, aholished the county, and restored it to the county of Franklin. The following legislature, August 10, 1868, provided for the compulsory delivery of the books, papers, money, and other prop- erty belonging to Colbert, to the judge of probate of Franklin county. Both the consti- tutional convention and the legislature were dominated by the Republican Party.

However, the legislature which convened in 1869, hy an act of December 9th, authorized a vote to be taken in the county of Franklin to determine whether or not the ordinance referred to should be repealed. The election was held on January 6, 1870, and resulted in the reestablishment of the county, whereupon the governor issued his proclamation declar- ing the result; and under an act of February 4, 1870, J. C. Goodlove, Thomas Buchanan, Robert Matlock and James Abernathy were appointe^ commissioners to manage the county. Subsequently an act was passed February 18, 1870 directing the restoration of Franklin to Colbert County of all of the books, records, papers, documents or other property originally belonging to the latter. Tuscumbia was again named as the county seat, March 1, 1870 and an election ordered held the first Monday in March that year, at which the voters were to choose between Tus- cumbia and Cherokee for the permanent seat of justice. The election resulted in the selec- tion of the former.

Location and Physical Description .- It lies in the northwestern section of the state. It is separated from Lauderdale County by the Tennessee River, is bounded east by Lawrence, south hy Franklin County, and west by the Mississippi state line. The county is about 40 miles long east and west, and in its widest part north and south it is about 23 miles. Its surface features vary from level to gently rolling. Its northern section lies in the Ten- nessee River valley region, while the southern and remaining section of the county is in the mountain region. In the valleys are level lands with gently rolling upland, reaching an elevation of 50 to 100 feet above the general level of the Tennessee. In the mountains the lands are 50 to 300 feet higher and are characterized by a broken topography of nar- row ridges, with steep slopes and narrow deeply eroded stream valleys. It is drained

largely by the Tennessee River. Among the more important streams are Big Bear and Rock-Creek, near the western boundary, Buz- zard Roost, Caney, Bear and Spring creeks in the central, and Town Creek in the eastern part. At points on these streams there is a possibility of developing a large amount of water power. The valley and mountain sec- tions determine its soil divisions, the former including approximately 40 percent of the area of the county. There are 15 soil types in the county. The valley soils are all resid- ual, and consist mainly of clay loams and silt loams. The surface of the mountain sec- tion varies from rolling to hilly, rough and broken. Its soils are of two classes, those purely residual, derived directly from the weathering of the underlying sandstones and shales, and those which are serimentary, derived from the weathering of the un- consolidated material of the Tuscaloosa

formaton. Most of the bottom is sub-

ject to annual overflow. There are occa- sional high-lying areas known as second bottoms not subject to overflow except during very high water. The forest growth consists generally of several species of oak, hickory and shortleaf pine. The average annual tem- perature is 61.2º F. In December, January and February the average is about 42.5º F., in which freezes, light snows and cold rains occur. July and August are the hottest periods of summer, averaging 78.5º F. The average rainfall is 49.7 inches, the larger part of which falls during the winter and spring. Details of the character and extent of productions are noted in the statistics he- low.

Aboriginal History .- All that part of Col- bert County lying east of Big Bear Creek was claimed both hy the Chickasaws and the Cherokees. By the treaty of September 14, 1816, the Cherokees ceded to the United States all their territory south of the Tennes- see River extending as far west as Big Bear Creek. Six days atferwards, September 20, the Chickasaws ceded all the lands claimed by them south of the Tennessee River and east of Caney Creek, which is in Colbert County. The two Indian tribal claims thus overlapped each other. As there were no Chickasaw settlements at that time east of Caney Creek, it must have been regarded by the Chickasaws as their eastern boundary, and regardless of the Cherokee cession, this Chickasaw owner- ship of the territory west of Caney Creek was admitted by the United States, and their title to it was finally extinguished by the treaty of Pontotoc Creek, October 20, 1832.

The Cherokees formed no settlements on the Tennessee River until about 1770. There were four Cherokee villages in Colhert County during the last quarter of the eighteenth cen- tury. Beginning on the river, the first was Doublehead's Village, founded about 1790, and situated a short distance above the place where George Colbert subsequently established his ferry. A large spring, still known as Doublehead's Spring marks the site of this village. The second, was Oka Kapassa, founded about 1780, the site of which is in-

302

HISTORY OF ALABAMA

cluded in the present city of Tuscumbia. Oka Kapassa signifies "cold water" in the Choc- taw-Chickasaw language, and was evidently the name given to the large spring in Tus- cumbia. The name shows that the locality was well known to the Chickasaws, who may have had a village or hunting camp there prior to Cherokee occupancy. The third was a small village located at the foot of Muscle Shoals. The fourth was a larger village, or settlement, at the mouth of Town Creek ex- tending for a mile and a half up and down the Tennessee River, and about the same dis- tance southward from the river. It was from this village that Town Creek derived its name.

Several Indian towns, known as Bear Creek Villages, are on the creek of that name in the western part of the county as early as the first part of the eighteenth century. Some students identify them as Cherokee, but their tribal relation is not known with certainty.

A large mound near the lock on Colbert Shoals Canal, Tennessee River, near River- ton, survives, originally one of a group of three. One was removed by the Northern Alabama R. R., and the other by Confederate troops during the War, in order to mount batteries there. At the mouth of Colbert Creek on Tennessee River, are two town sites, and a small burial mound. One mile below the mouth of the creek is another site. Some few earthenware vessels of a character differ- ing from those found elsewhere have been dis- covered here. A town-site and cemetery near the mouth of Cane Creek, on property of R. M. Garner, show burials of a flexed type, but differing from any heretofore met with in the State. The Cherokees claimed to be the very first settlers in the Tennessee Valley, and the mounds and remains above are doubtles to be ascribed to them.

George and Levi Colbert, for whom the county was named, both lived in Colbert County on the Natchez Trace, which crossed the Tennessee River at Colbert's Ferry. How- ever, George Colbert did not live continuously at the ferry, but spent the greater part of his time at his other home, on Wolf Creek, four miles west of Booneville, Miss. Levi Colbert's home was on the Natchez Trace, at the cross- ing on Big Bear Creek. These two Colbert brothers were not real Chickasaw chiefs. On account of their knowledge of English and their superior intelligence they were appoint- ed by the Chickasaw King to act as princi- pal chiefs in all matters connected with the United States Government. George Colbert died in 1839, in the Chickasaw Nation west; Levi died at Buzzard Roost in the spring of 1834, while on his way to Washington city on some official business. Another brother, James Colhert, lived 30 or 40 miles further down the Tennessee.

Settlement and Later History .- Michael Dickson with his wife and four sons were perhaps the first American settlers that made a permanent home in 1817 in Colbert County. They came in a keelboat up the Tennessee River, landed at the stream on its south bank, which issues from the well known spring in Tuscumbia, ascended this stream and camped

near the spring. Here they purchased from Tuscumbia, a Cherokee chief residing there, a tract of land extending from the mountain on the south to the river on the north, em- bracing the spring and stream to its influx into the river. Five silver dollars and two poll axes was the price paid for this land. Dickson built his cabins upon the hill above the spring. It seems that other settlers accompanied Dickson and made their homes near him. The year following a daughter was born, named Annie, who perhaps was the first white child born within the limits of the county. In 1820 some ten or fifteen families moved into the place, and it assumed the appearance of a village. It was incorporated the same year by the name of Ococoposo ( Oka Kapassa). The next year, June 14, 1821, the name was changed to Big Spring.

In 1822 the people began to feel the necessity of a post office, as Russellville, the nearest office was 36 miles distant. Two names were suggested, Annieston from the name of the infant daughter of Michael Dick- son, and Tuscumbia, the name of the Chero- kee Chief. By a single vote Tuscumbia won. The old chief was greatly pleased at the re- sult, and to show his appreciation of the honor he presented the defeated candidate with a pair of dainty buckskin moccasins. The legis- lature formally recognized the change Decem- ber 31, 1822.

The early settlers of Colbert, then old Franklin, were ambitious and aspiring. Less than 10 years after the founding of the town two institutions, the Tuscumbia Academy for boys, and the Tuscumbia Female Academy, were chartered by the legislature the same day, January 13, 1826. Messrs. Thomas Wooldridge, Alexander A. Campbell, Wm. H. Wharton were trustees on each board, while Robert B. Marshall was an additional mem- ber of the former, and John Hogan of the latter. Near the present Leighton, La Fayette Academy was incorporated January 12, 1826, later to become La Grange College, founded in 1828. In after times Deshler Female Institute, a high-grade school for girls, was located at Tuscumbia, founded in 1874 on a bequest of Maj. David Deshler. The first rail- way in the state, and the first railway track laid west of the Alleghany Mountains was built under a charter of 1830 to the Tuscum- bia Railway Co. and a track of 2 1-8 miles was completed in 1832, from Tuscumbia to the Tennessee River, an event which was cele- brated by the firing of cannon and a public dinner and hall on June 12. By the 4th of July, 1833, the Tuscumbia, Courtland and Decatur Railroad Co., incorporated in 1832, had completed 8 7-10 miles of its line from Tuscumbia to Decatur. At one time an exten- sive cotton factory and an iron foundry were in operation at Barton Station.

The territory of this county, as other por- tions of the Tennessee Valley, was alternately occupied by Confederate and Federal troops throughout the War of Secession. Tuscum- bia was a point of much importance during the occupation of Corinth by Federal troops. On April 16, 1862 the town was occupied by

303

HISTORY OF ALABAMA

the Federals, and on the 24th and 25th fol- lowing, several skirmishes took place in the vicinity. In the fall of 1862, there was a spirited artillery engagement between Col. P. D. Roddy, commanding the Confederates, and a Federal force under Gen. Thomas W. Swee- ney. The invaders were compelled to fall back to Corinth. About 4 o'clock Sunday morning, February 22, 1863, Gen. Grenville M. Dodge's Cavalry under Col. F. M. Cornyn, attacked Tuscumbia, and according to the official report, took 100 prisoners, and according to another report, 200 prisoners, 200 horses, one piece of artillery, a large amount of stores, including a train of cars, 100 bales of cotton belonging to the Con- federate Government, considerable money and a large number of mules. In this engagement ' the Confederates were commanded by Col. Roddy. There is nothing of an official nature by the Confederates on the attack. On April 25, 1863, during his expedition up the Tennes- see Valley to cover Col. A. D. Streight's raid, Gen. Dodge occupied Tuscumbia. He was again opposed by Col. Roddy, later, promoted Brigadier-General. There were several skir- mishes in the vicinity of Tuscumbia on October 24 and 25, 1863. On February 20, 1865, the town was again captured by a Federal force, moving from Eastport, Miss., to Russellville. There were only about 20 Confederates in the place, who after skir- mishing, made good their retreat.

Of the presence of Gen. Dodge in this section of the State, Brewer's "Alabama," page 188, note, says that his "atrocious van- dalism lit up the valley of the Tennessee from Town creek to Tuscumbia on the memorable night of April 28, 1863, with the flames of burning dwellings, granaries, stables, fences, &c., &c., was born in Danvers, Mass., in 1831. He entered the federal army as colonel of the fourth lowa infantry, and arose to the rank of major general."

The record of commands from this section of Franklin in the war of secession will be found detailed in the sketch of that county.
