Spotlight on Mobile SPOTLIGHT ON MOBILE WELCOME TO MOBILE, ALABAMA Mobile is the county seat of Mobile County, Alabama, Alabama’s only saltwater port, Mobile is located at the head of the Mobile Bay and the north-central Gulf Coast. The Port of Mobile has always played a key role in the economic health of the city beginning with the city as a key trading center between the French and Native Americans. Mobile first became a part of the United States of America in 1813, with the annexation of West Florida under President James Madison. In 1861 Alabama joined the Confederate States of America, which surrendered in 1865. As one of the Gulf Coast’s cultural centers, Mobile has several art museums, a symphony orchestra, a professional opera, a professional ballet company, and a large concentration of historic architecture. Mobile is known for having the oldest organized Carnival celebrations in the United States. The festival began to be celebrated in the first decade of the 18th century by its first French Catholic colonial settlers. Mobile was host to the first formally organized Carnival mystic society, known elsewhere as a krewe, to celebrate with a parade in the United States, beginning in 1830. In 2005 the first integrated mystic society had a parade for Mardi Gras.

Mobile, Alabama Engravings By GULF ST ATES ENGRAVING CO. Mobile, Alabama TEXTS MA y RANDLETT£ BECK VERSES CAROLINE McCALL ---- DRAWINGS WILLIAM B. BusH DEDICATED To MY SISTER FAN LOUISE RANDLETTE 1883-1939 With her cheerful happy nature she scattered sunshine and sowed the seed of her beautiful philosophy of living an2ong all who knew her .. Vll MOTTO OF '' THE .ANCIENT MAR IN ER'' "I can hardly believe that in the universe the invisible beings are more than the visible. But who shall reveal to us the nature of them all, the rank, the relationships, the distinguishing features and the offices of each? What is it they do? Where is it they dwell? Always about the knowledge of these wonders the mind of man has circled nor ever reached it." -Translated from the Latin of Buckner and used -by Coleridge . Vlll ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My sincere thanks go to all who have helped with this book. To Caroline McCall, for her generous assistance and encouragement during my explorations down highways and byways looking for ghosts. Research in any activity demands time and thought and energy but it has been fun working together. Many times the wee sma' hours have found us in close communion at our ghostly task, attempting to recapture the spirits of another day. Caroline, with her gifted touch, can transform a plain statement of facts into a poem.
