Jules J. Berta Jules J. Berta Vineyards are located atop Sand Mountain in Albertville, Alabama. It is owned and operated by Jules J. Berta and wife, Becky Bailey-Berta. The vineyards are five acres of vines on a 22 acre farm. The sandy soil and high elevation create a unique southern climate for growing viniferous grapes. Jules and Becky are dedicated to making quality wines from the viniferous (wine grapes) they grow on their farm. Controlling this aspect of the wine process enables them to ensure quality at each process from vine to bottle. This husband and wife team hope to bring an added excellence to the State of Alabama with their vineyards and wines. Jules and Becky agree there is a spiritual awakening and peace in farming a vineyard.

Horseshoe Bend National Military Park

18 miles east of Alexander City on Alabama 49. On the morning of 27 March, 1814 General Andrew Jackson and an army of 3,300 men consisting of Tennessee militia, United States regulars and both Cherokee and Lower Creek allies attacked Chief Manawa and 1,000 Upper Creek or Red Stick warriors fortified in the "horseshoe" bend of the Tallapoosa River. To seal off the bend of the river, the Upper Creeks built an incredibly strong 400 yard long barricade made of dirt and logs. As the Cherokee and Lower Creek warriors swam the Tallapoosa and attacked from the rear, Jackson launched the militia and regular soldiers against the barricade. Facing overwhelming odds, the Red Sticks fought bravely yet ultimately lost the battle. Over 800 Upper Creeks died at Horseshoe Bend defending their homeland. This was the final battle of the Creek War of 1813-14, which is considered part of the War of 1812. In a peace treaty signed at Ft. Jackson

4



City Rgn Code Place Descriptions Date(near Wetumpka) after the battle, both the Upper and Lower Creeks were forced to give the United States nearly 20 million acres of land in what is today Alabama and Georgia. The victory here brought Andrew Jackson national attention and helped him to be elected the seventh President of the United States in 1828. This 2,040-acre park preserves the site of the battle. The land ceded by the Creek Indian nation made up three fifths of the land that was to become Alabama. The visitor center has an excellent 20 minute video and exhibits on the battle & Creek Indian culture. The Horseshoe Bend National Military Park is a must see.

It was here, during the first week of May 1963, that Birmingham police and firemen, under orders from Public Safety Commissioner Eugene "Bull" Connor, confronted demonstrators, many of them children, first with mass arrests and then with police dogs and fire hoses. Images from those confrontations, broadcast nationwide, spurred a public outcry which turned the nation's attention to the struggle for racial equality. The demonstrations in Birmingham brought city leaders to agree to an end of public segregation. In addition, they helped ensure the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Civil Rights laws.

Pete's Famous Hot Dogs (1915)

1925 2nd Ave. North. “All the way" dog. “Birmingham legend, Gus Koutroulakis, has been slinging hot dogs from the same tiny stand in downtown Birmingham, Pete’s Famous, since 1948. According to Gus, his Uncle Pete and a buddy bought the place in 1939 with money they won in a Pinochle game. Pete renamed the place after his self-proclaimed famous dogs when he bought out his business partner in 1946. That same year, Pete

15



City Rgn Code Place Descriptions Dateinstalled the colorful neon sign that still lights up 2nd Avenue. And Gus still makes his dogs the same way his uncle did: “all the way” with mustard, kraut, and special sauce. Or, you can order a “special,” with a beef topping that’s—be careful—not chili. The classic sauce is unique to Birmingham and certainly a Greek addition to classic take-away fare. No one’s quite sure who came up with it, but variations on that same sauce can be found all over town. A visit to Pete’s Famous is quite an experience, so when you visit, spend some time taking in Gus’s hot dog wisdom and learning interesting tidbits from loyal customers, while downing a few of what are arguably the most famous dogs in Birmingham. The record, by the way, is eighteen hot dogs eaten in one visit.”

Turn right and hike ¼ mile to the cave entrance. For a short but exciting time in the late 1930s, Bangor Cave was one of America's most exotic nightspots. A special spur to the cave, built by the Louisville & Nashville Railroad, brought thousands of elegantly dressed southerners to the cave's bungalow entrance. There, they waited outside for the chance to enter an underground Shangri-La. A lucky few, usually with bulging wallets, were allowed into the private casino hidden behind a heavily bolted door. Today there are only a few physical reminders of the cave's glory days: the outline of a fieldstone bar where a jar of thousand-dollar bills once sat on display, the concave area that served as an orchestra pit for swing bands and vocalists. But on the spot

The oldest continuously occupied settlement in the U S 1540 AD

Not until the arrival of Hernando DeSoto and his Spanish expedition in 1540 A.D. was the beginning of recorded history in Alabama marked. In fact, Childersburg, the city nearest the DeSoto Caverns, is the oldest continuously occupied settlement in the United States, predating St. Augustine by 25 years. The DeSoto expedition spent a little over five weeks in the capital of the Coosa Indians, just a few miles west of the DeSoto Caverns. Their mission was to find gold and to establish the first Spanish colony in the New World. DeSoto left, disappointed, as he found no gold in the surrounding territory and thus did not claim any land for Spain, but instead took slaves from among the Coosa people.

Although the majority of the lake is located in Tallapoosa County, the generating plant was built in Elmore County. The cost of the project was $20 million. The gates were closed on June 9, 1926 and the Tallapoosa River began to fill the small creeks and streams lacing the basin. Former residents watched with anguish as homes and fields which had been in their families for generations flooded. Old Indian sites were covered, burying many Native American artifacts under the rush of the water. At that time, Lake Martin was the world's largest artificial body of water.4 generators producing 154.2 MW of power.

The majority of the Appalachian south from West Virginia to Winston County was pro-union. Winston provided 239 confederate soldiers, 21 of whom shared last names. This Civil War soldier, 1/2 union and 1/2 confederate, symbolizes the war within a war and honors the Winstonians in both armies. Their shiny new swords of 1861 were by 1865 as broken as the spirits of the men who bore them; and their uniforms of blue and gray once fresh and clean, were now as worn and patched as the bodies and souls they contained.

City Rgn Code Place Descriptions Dateimpounds 21,000 acres. The dam releases clear, cold water from the bottom of the lake. Because of these cold temperatures, the Sipsey Fork downstream of the dam can support introduced rainbow trout, making this section of water one of the only places in Alabama that can support a trout fishery.

As Alabama became a state in1819, the terms of the Battle of Horseshoe Bend were being carried out. The Federal Government had set up a Trading Factory at Fort Mitchell (1817-1820) to provide the Indians with

The factory was not successful and the Government set up an Indian Agency at Fort Mitchell, which remained there from 1825-1836, when the Indians were moved to the West. A Memorial can be seen just north of the forts Visitors Center, at the Indian Heritage Center, which has the names of each of the Indians who were moved to the West printed in the panels of the memorial. At the visitor’s center upon your entrance to Fort Mitchell, you will need to check in.

On your next visit to NW Alabama, you need to go to the Dismals Canyon. Early settlers gave it the name as it was so forbidden to them. Basically it’s a very rugged box canyon. Robbers of the Natchez Trace travelers hid there as well as Aaron Burr before he was captured near Mobile. Also some of the Indians (I forget which tribe, I think Choctaw) were held there in their “relocation” to Okalahoma in the infamous Trail of Tears. It is one amazing area. In fact the History Channel filmed part of “When Dinosaurs Roamed” in the canyon due to its primordial nature. Northern hemlock trees grow there as the temperature stays so much cooler that as the Ice Age receded the trees continued to flourish in the canyon.

The meatloaf was "the best I ever had" and the home cooked vegetables were excellent as was the cornbread. Mr. Missildine came over to our table to ask us if everything was O.K. and could he get us anything else. Even though we though we couldn't possibly want anything else he brought us some chicken fingers with a "killer" sauce.
