Quinte5sential Forgotten Alabama
Three years in the making, my fifth edition (hence the ‘5’ in the title) of the Forgotten Alabama book series is out with my latest book, Quinte5sential Forgotten Alabama! Once again, I ply the backroads of my beloved Alabama seeking out the forgotten remnants of life as it was. The old houses, stores, bridges, gas stations, churches, radio stations, drive-ins…just about anything abandoned you could think of .
All these years later and I’m still amazed at the things I find. The old plantation homes left to nature’s mercy. The long-since closed little store where an RC Cola costs a nickle, the sad little church that hasn’t heard Amazing Grace sung in 50 years or more along with numerous others speak of a time that no longer exists. As I have stated many times in the past, I cannot save these places, but I can prove they existed. This book continues my journey. A journey I’m grateful to have experienced.

I never would have known about it without someone from Instagram asking if I had seen it. Truly the most interesting old house I found. It was pretty amazing!
