This case study in cultural mythmaking shows how antebellum Alabama created itself out of its own printed texts, from treatises on law and history to satire, poetry, and domestic novels. Beidler examines the work of well-known writers such as humorist Johnson J. Hooper, and takes on other classic pieces like Albert J. Pickett's History of Alabama. Beidler also considers lesser-known works like Lewis B. Sewall's verse satire The Adventures of Sir John Falstaff the II, and Octavia Walton Levert's Souvenirs of Travel.
