Brannon, Peter A. (Peter Alexander), 1882-1967. South Around to Cross Ellicott's Line: photographic scrapbook, 1938.

Title: South Around to Cross Ellicott's Line: photographic scrapbook, 1938.

In 1938 Clayton Albert, Thomas W. Martin, Colonel Marion Rushton, and Peter A. Brannon traveled by car from Claiborne, Ala. to St. Stephens, Ala. and went through Mobile, Ala. One of their destinations was Ellicott's boundary markers. These markers were placed at the 31 degree North Latitude which was the original boundary between the United States and the Floridas (hence the scrapbook's title). After the trip Peter Brannon created this photographic scrapbook, based on the group's experiences. The photographs, the majority being 3 X 4, focus on historical events, places, and people. Of particular interest are the photographs of Fort Morgan, Fort Mims, the Mount Vernon Hospital for Insane Negroes, Blakely, Ala., St. Stephens, Ala., and Alabama residents including tenant farmers, plantation owners, local gentry, African Americans, Cajuns, and Creoles. Brannon also includes typewritten transcripts of primary and secondary sources on historical events such as LaFayette's visit, Alabama settlement, and the Creek and Civil Wars. These sources include excerpts from the Mobile and Montgomery newspapers and military correspondence with Andrew Jackson. The photographs remain in the original volume with nonbuffered acid-free paper placed between the pages.

Claiborne, Ferdinand Leigh, 1772-1815. Map of Fort Mims and environs, 1813.

Title: Map of Fort Mims and environs, 1813.

The map of Fort Mims and its environs belonged to General Ferdinand Leigh Claiborne. The map delineates, with sketches of trees and shrubs, the clearing in which Fort Mims stood, and it shows a layout of the fort with simple sketches of the buildings within the barricades. The main road to the fort from the Pensacola road is marked as well as the main ferry landing on the Alabama River. Various homes and business are noted. The map also contains numerous notations about the fort, the massacre, and the surrounding area. Notes identify the directions from which the Creeks advanced on the fort, the placement of troops defending the fort, and the fate of the homes and businesses in the area around the fort. The map of Fort Mims was probably created after the massacre.
