Memories of Old Cahaba #246886

In the following pages I have been particular in my descriptions of Cahaba, because I wanted to present as nearly as possible a "pen picture" of the place as it existed and the people as I recollect them before time and age shall have entirely obliterated the scenes from memory.<br><br>I have faithfully endeavored to describe truthfully each place as it was, the individuals as they appeared, and life as it was lived in the old days.<br><br>In doing this, I have attempted to do what others better fitted should have done, for there is no place richer in history and tradition and none more worthy the pen of the most gifted writer.
