The White family of Moulton established a newspaper dynasty with the Advertiser that lasted well into the 20th Century. Interesting articles are presented describing the rich history of Lawrence County and the Tennessee Valley as a whole. Particular attention is given to recording births, marriages, and obituary notices.

This book also contains the remaining chapters of Col. James E. Saunder's "Early Settlers of Lawrence County."

This book will prove useful to any serious student of the history and genealogy of the people inhabiting Lawrence County, Alabama.
