Cotton picked, ginned, pressed and loaded onto river steamers fills the prints here, beside maps that chart Alabama's counties and river ports. They include decorative sheets by Johnson and Colton, county mapping by Cram, land-cession maps associated with Royce and wider treatments linking the state with Georgia and Tennessee, as well as broader coverage of the southern United States. Mobile receives maps of its own, and the Alabama River appears through scenes of transport and trade. An illustration of Jefferson Davis's inauguration recalls the state's part in the history of the Confederacy.
