Trail of Tears Riders Pass Through the Maysville and Ryland Area Today

Harley riders and other motorcyclist pass through the Maysville and Ryland, Alabama area today for the Trail of Tears Ride. The Trail of Tears Remembrance Motorcycle Ride is a remembrance of the horrid relocation and movement of Native Americans in the United States from their homelands to Indian Territory (present day Oklahoma) in the Western United States. The phrase originated from a description of the removal of the Choctaw Nation in 1831. Many Native Americans suffered from exposure, disease, and starvation while en route to their destinations, and many died, including 4,000 of the 15,000 relocated Cherokee.

Perseid meteor shower visible over Maysville Alabama

"...The Perseid meteor shower has been observed for about 2000 years, with the first known information on these meteors coming from the Far East. In early medieval Europe, the Perseids came to be known as the "tears of St. Lawrence." The shower is visible from mid-July each year, with the greatest activity between August 8 and 14, peaking about August 12. During the peak, the rate of meteors reaches 60 or more per hour. They can be seen all across the sky, but because of the path of Swift-Tuttle's orbit, Perseids are primarily visible in the northern hemisphere.
The 2009 shower is expected to peak on the night of Tuesday-Wednesday August 11 - August 12. ..."

Eva Court Cemetery Circa 1800+

At the end of Eva Court in Cooper Estates in the Maysville, Alabama (Huntsville 35811)area, you will find the Eva Court Cemetery. The grave areas are overgrown and not well-cared-for. For genealogical purposes, you will find family markers for Albright, Forsey, Giles, Mayfield, and Wortham. At one time there was beautiful iron-work surrounding the site, but over time the ornamental fencing has been pilfered. Enter the site with caution, as it is infested with snakes.

Book Review: Huntsville: Madison County : To the Edge of the Universe

Huntsville: Madison County : To the Edge of the Universe (Urban Tapestry Series)

"Growing up in Huntsville--this mountainous city worthy of Norman Rockwell's insights--I was shadowed by the giants of the rocket and space programs." So writes Jan Davis in her introduction to Huntsville/Madison County: To the Edge of the Universe. In fact, she says, "It is almost impossible to grow up in Huntsville and not develop a fascination with space travel and exploration."

The giants who built the city into a major rocket center insisted that their chosen home have the very best social and cultural amenities. And, although it is in many ways an unassuming northern Alabama town, Huntsville is also a place where growing up in the shadow of greatness is easy, thanks to the wealth of schools and colleges, parks, cultural facilities, and recreational outlets.

Huntsville is also a business and high-tech mecca, with its many private and public institutions comprising an impressive economic zone. As Davis points out, more than 50 Fortune 500 companies have operations in the area.

But Huntsville's charms are so diverse that the city holds fascination for everyone. From ice skating to music to history to museums to country cooking, Huntsville remains above all "a city of wonderful contradictions, always unpredictable and capable of delight."
