Prattville's Creative and Performing Arts Council has commissioned a coffee table book as a fundraising project. "Artesian Wells..Cotton Bales.. & Southern Tales" is expected to be published by late summer. The title stems from the Fountain City's artesian wells and its founder, Daniel Pratt. Pratt built an industrial empire, which included a cotton gin mill and textile operations, on the banks of Autauga Creek. Bob Gambacurta, a longtime television news anchor, writer and political consultant, is writing the book. "We are going to tell Prattville's story from mill town to boom town," he said. "The first several chapters will deal with early Prattville and Autauga County history, the importance of Pratt's early industrial efforts. It will lead up to the present with the tremendous growth the area has seen and how Prattville is becoming a regional retail trade center." The publisher is seeking local contributions, either memorable stories or vintage photos. Along with raising money for the city's arts programs, the book will be used to promote Prattville's growth and economic development. "I'm very excited about this project," said Mayor Jim Byard. "It will serve as a stunningly beautiful way for us to showcase the best of our community." Prattville has an interesting story to tell. Pratt was a New England Yankee who followed King Cotton into the South. He founded the city that bears his name in 1839, making it one of the rare industrialized areas in a region known for its agricultural economic base. "I can't wait to read the book. I'll get one of the first copies," said Terri Little, a Prattville native. "I'm going to get such a kick out of reading about people and places I know." Plans are to publish the book in time for the Navistar LPGA Classic, set for Sept 24-30 at Capitol Hill. The cost will be $35 per copy.

Not sure if anyone realizes this but Daniel Pratt was an architect and built many of the old homes in Macon, Ga. "Henry DeBardeleben came to Jefferson County with Daniel Pratt who had estabished his cotton gin and te town of Prattville long before the coming of the War Between the States. DeBardelebern was born in 1841 in Autauga County, Al, when he was 10 years old his father died and his mother carried the family to Montgomery. As time passed Daniel Pratt became Henry's guardian and Henry lived with the Pratt family in Prattville. Henry married Daniel Ptratts daughter, Ellen in 1862.Henry DeBardeleben was the heir of Daniel Pratt's iron & coal business, and the Oxmoor Furnaces on Red Mountain became his, he left the cotton gin and him and 2 others organized the Pratt Mining Company, the first big coal company in the state of Alabama. The men were Colonel James Sloss, DeBardeleben, and P.H. Aldrich (This name is my cousins ancestor)" Info source - "Things Remembered" 'Stories about Western Jefferson County, Alabama' by James H.

Dear Friend, I started to first grade at Marbury School in 1936. I probably didn`t know your mother but could have. Do you belong to the Marbury Alumni Club? If you are interested in knowing how to join write me and I will send you the info. It is very likely that someone in the group might have some photos of your mother. What was her name? If she was a Kelley I may have known her well as I grew up playing with the Kelley Children in Wadsworth. Drop me a line. Pauline Jackson Clarke

No one has been to Lamar County or anywhere else in AL, nor have I, so I have not been there or met anyone connected to the family.
