Rhoda Coleman Ellison is a native of Centreville in Bibb County, and is Professor Emerita of English at Huntingdon College.
"Ellison has established a model for those who wish to write a good
county history. She tells the story of Bibb County thoughtfully and
skillfully against a background of state and national events. She
balances the political and economic with cultural history, and she
captures the spirit of the people of this very rural Alabama
county."--Journal of Southern History
"Ellison has written an outstanding book, a book that mirrors, on a
reduced scale, many of the events of 19th-century Alabama and of
much of the Deep South."--Southern Historian
