The Battle of Selma


Discover the prominent role Selma played in the drama

and intrigue of the Civil War.

THE CIVIL WAR started in the spring of 1861 and lasted 4 years until the spring of 1865. When Abraham Lincoln was

elected President of the United States in 1860, 11 southern states seceded from the Union and declared themselves the the Confederate States of America (CSA). The Civil War had begun and battles raged at multiple sites. In early 1865, Union Military authorities turned their eyes toward Selma as it was home to a bustling military industrial complex. As a major munitions manufacturer for the Confederacy, Selma played a prominent role in the conflict’s most contested struggles; evidence of that role can still be seen and felt today at several of Selma’s historic sites.

In 1865, the resources supporting the Confederacy were wearing thin and the Naval Ordnance Works, Army Arsenal, and Selma’s Navy Shipyard were the South’s last chance for continued resistance. The beginning of 1865 saw the siege of Richmond tighten and the launch of Union General James H. Wilson’s Raid to destroy the production facilities in

Selma, Alabama. His only obstacle would be the son of a poverty-stricken backwoods blacksmith, Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest, who had never lost a battle. The Confederacy’s shortage of men and supplies, however, had taken a frightening toll on Forrest’s command. While setting up a defensive position in his front, Forrest sent his veteran troops to attack the rear of Wilson’s column. Wilson, however, intercepted a dispatch containing Forrest’s plans and used the information to isolate and delay the raiding party.

On April 1, Wilson attacked and overran Forrest’s inexperienced troops in the Battle of Ebenezer Church. Forrest fell back 18 miles to Selma, where he put his few hundred cavalry veterans and 3,000 untried militiamen, spread thinly in the 3.5 miles of earthworks surrounding the city. Then on the evening of April 2, Wilson succeeded in his mission, destroying the arsenals and much of Selma in his siege.

Selma’s Old Live Oak Cemetery, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is the final resting place for many Civil War soldiers and the Confederate Memorial. Other prominent Selmians are interred in this beautiful, historic cemetery including William Rufus King, John Tyler Morgan, Benjamin Sterling Turner, Edmund Winston Pettus, and many more.

Today, 150 years later, you can watch this historic event literally come alive as hundreds of dedicated Civil War re-enactors re-create the sights and sounds of the Civil War and every tragic turn of the Battle of Selma. Be sure to visit some of the historic sites that survived Wilson’s Raid and the museums that pay homage to this moment in our nation’s history.

Some of the largest cannonsused in the Civil War, including

the infamous Brooke Cannon, the most powerful muzzleloaded cannon ever made, were manufactured

in Selma.

downtown Selma. Historic Downtown Selma Trail

A. CITY HALLThe City Hall was completed in 1976 on the former site of the old Hotel Albert. It was designed to reflect the historical architecture of downtown Selma.

B. DALLAS COUNTY COURTHOUSEThe Dallas County Courthouse was originally a Neo-Classic building built in 1910. In 1965, protesters from Brown Chapel AME Church marched down Alabama Avenue to the Dallas County Courthouse in an effort to register to vote.

C. VAUGHAN-SMITHERMAN MUSEUMThe Vaughan-Smitherman Museum was originally constructed by the Masonic Order to house a school; later it was used as a Confederate hospital, courthouse and regional hospital. It was the first African-American hospital in Selma. Now a museum, it houses a medical museum, WWI and WWII uniforms along with Confederate papers including a pardon issued by President Abraham Lincoln four days before his assassination.

D. ARTSREVIVEA grand old building, The Carneal Building has been at the end of Water Avenue for many years. ArtsRevive purchased the building in 2008 and started renovations. The building now offers office space, areas for art shows, art workshops and other community needs.

E. WATER AVENUEHistoric Water Avenue is the historical riverfront street of Selma. The Selma Times-Journal, the local newspaper, is housed in an Italianate Victorian storefront building typical of the early 1870s. This newspaper has been published continually since 1828.

F. EDMUND PETTUS BRIDGEThe Edmund Winston Pettus Bridge was erected in 1939 and was named after the U.S. Senator Edmund Winston Pettus. This is also the scene of the Selma-to-Montgomery March in 1965. The demonstrations that occurred here led to the U.S. Voting Rights Act of 1965.

G. SELMA INTERPRETIVE CENTER The Selma Interpretive Center serves as the Welcome Center for the Selma to Montgomery National Historic Trail, which was established by Congress in 1996 to commemorate the events, people and route of the 1965 Voting Rights March. The Center is owned by the City of Selma and is operated by the National Park Service.

H. OLD DEPOT MUSEUMThe Old Depot Museum is an 1891 red brick building that was onceknown as the L&N Railroad Station. It now houses an impressive collection of historic treasures gathered from the days of the pre-historic Indians who lived in the region, to the time before and after the Civil War and up through America’s early days of the Civil Rights Movement.

I. BROWN CHAPEL A.M.EBrown Chapel AME Church, with its imposing twin towers and Romanesque Revival styling, wasbuilt in 1908 by a black builder—of whom little is known—Mr. A.J. Farley. Both the building and the members of Brown ChapelAME Church played pivotal roles in the Selma marches that helped lead to the passage of the 1965Voting Rights Act.

J. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCHOF SELMA First Baptist Church, constructed in 1894 in the Gothic Revival style by a local black architect, Dave Benjamin West, is consideredone of the most architecturally significant late-19th-century black churches in the state. It played a pivotal role in the Selma marches that helped lead to the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

K. STURDIVANT HALL MUSEUMSturdivant Hall, also known as the Watts-Parkman-Gillman Home, is a historic Greek Revival antebellum mansion. Completed in 1856, it was designed by Thomas Helm Lee for Colonel Edward T. Watts. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 18, 1973, due to its architectural significance.

L. LIVE OAK CEMETERYLive Oak Cemetery was purchased by the Township of Selma in 1829 and named West Selma Graveyard. The newer section of the cemetery grounds was purchased in 1877 and combined with the older section to form Live Oak Cemetery.

OLD LIVE OAK CEMETARY

SELMA TIMES JOURNAL

STURDIVANT HALL MUSEUM


MUCH CAN BE learned about the character and heritage of a place simply by looking at its architecture. This is certainly

true in Selma; it is one of the few towns in the United States with so much impressive archi-tectural variety in such a small area. Many of the over 1,200 old houses you can observe boast architectural significance that goes far beyond the stories of the families who built or lived in them. Indeed, the city’s homes, build-ings, churches and other structures reveal its rich past in every arch, window, column and deep porch.

But many of these structures could have been lost forever, slowly destroyed by years of neglect, if not for the efforts of The Selma-Dallas County Historic Preservation Society (SDCHPS). Since SDCHPS began in the early 1970s, it has saved at least half a dozen build-ings by purchasing and reselling them, some-times renovating them first.

As you’re exploring Selma, you’ll notice the multiple markers. A blue historical desti-nation plaque means the structure was built prior to the Civil War; a yellow plaque indi-cates it was built in between the end of the Civil War and 1910; a green plaque means the structure was constructed after 1910 but is at least 50 years old.

Community leaders will escort you through Alabama’s largest historic district, sharing Selma’s unique culture and history.

ArtUnifies City

Art has power, and in Selma, a dedicated group of volunteers is working to use that power to re-invigorate and revitalize the

city and surrounding areas. Founded in 2003, ArtsRevive’s mission is to: “enhance community development in the greater historic Selma region through the devel-opment of arts, urban design and tourism while preserving the diverse cultural heritage of the region.”

Local artist Vicky Stoudenmire and others saw the potential just waiting to be tapped in Selma, and ArtsRevive was her brainchild. “I was talking with some other artists about how lovely Selma is and our desire to preserve and enhance it through art,” she said. “Anytime you boost arts in a community it is economically beneficial, but we needed an organization to really focus the effort, so we started ArtsRe-vive.” Past President Fran Pearce agreed. “Selma is a beautiful town with such beautiful architecture and rich history,” she said. “The opportunities to improve upon that are endless.”

While spurring and supporting eco-nomic development is ArtsRevive’s goal, creativity is its tool. ArtsRevive’s board is comprised of a diverse array of talented area artists and those who love the arts all working together.

One of ArtsRevive’s most visible suc-cesses has been the transformation of an old auto repair shop in downtown Selma into the Carneal ArtsRevive building, creating a space for offices, art shows, art workshops and other community events. The ArtsRevive building, in the shadow of the famous Edmund Pettus Bridge, an-chors the riverfront development efforts on west Water Avenue.

What started as an effort to bring artistic events and experiences to the city and surrounding areas has grown into a commitment to place Creative Place-making at the heart of the community. ArtsRevive is using the power of creativ-ity to spur adaptive reuse of downtown structures, to encourage groups and individuals to reinvest and rehabilitate properties, to create livable spaces, and support the arts and creative enter-prises—or more importantly, the people behind them.

And that’s what ArtsRevive is really all about: bringing people together to reach a common goal. “We’ve brought groups together to accomplish things we couldn’t do by ourselves,” Pearce ex-plained. “We see art as a wonderful uni-fier for our diverse community.”

The annual Alabama Tale-Tellin’ Fes-tival features nationally known storytell-ers in the schools and performs to packed houses each night at Carneal. ArtsRevive believes that vibrant communities need the arts and that the arts build vibrant communities. We are excited that over the last decade our vision of the arts is mak-ing a difference in our town is catching on. We’re looking forward to partnering with even more groups to achieve this mission.

Learn more about the work of ArtsRevive, upcoming events and projects at www.ArtsRevive.com and at [email protected].


Selma’s ArtsRevive is harnessing the power

of creativity.

“We see art as a wonderful unifier for our diverse

community.”-Fran Pearce, ArtsRevive

THE CIVIL RIGHTS Movement is sometimes called The Civil Rights Struggle for a very good reason. After decades of oppression, it

took years of peaceful protest in the face of violent opposition to finally achieve voting rights for African Americans. Much of the struggle took place in and around Selma, including one of its seminal moments, the Selma to Montgomery March.

In 1965, hundreds of voting rights advocates, both black and white, set off on foot to Montgomery to the Capitol Building to take their grievances right to Governor George Wallace’s doorstep. Smaller protest marches had been held in the months prior, and on February 18 in nearby Marion, police shot 26-year-old Jimmie Lee Jackson who was protecting his mother and grandfather from assault. His senseless death motivated the Selma to Montgomery March.

On March 7, Reverend Hosea Williams and John Lewis stepped from the pulpit of Brown Chapel Church and led a group of 600 toward Montgomery. After just

six blocks, when they crossed the now infamous Edmund Pettus Bridge over the Alabama River, Sheriff Jimmy Clark’s deputies and state troopers dispatched by Gov. Wallace attacked the group with nightsticks and tear gas, injuring dozens. The scene was caught on film and broadcast on television networks across America. National leaders and the rest of the country saw first-hand how intense the struggle had become. The event came to be known as “Bloody Sunday.”

The violence stopped the marchers’ first attempt, but they would not be silenced or stopped for good. Two weeks later, under the protection of Alabama National Guardsmen and Army troops, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. set off again from Selma and marched along U.S. Hwy. 80 to the capital city. They walked during the day and slept in the fields at night, covering the 54 miles between Selma and Montgomery in four days and gathering without incident in front of the State Capitol. By that time the crowd was 25,000 strong.

The murder of Viola Liuzzo, a 39-year-old white mother of five from Detroit who was shot while shuttling marchers back to Selma, finally spurred President Lyndon Johnson to push the Voting Rights Bill through Congress. After Johnson signed the 1965 Voting Rights Act on August 6, some 7,000 African Americans registered to vote in Dallas County and defeated the segregationist sheriff who had led the “Bloody Sunday” attack.

The ultimate success of the Civil Rights Movement came on the backs of regular citizens fighting the powers that be and is resounding proof of what ordinary people can do when fighting a righteous cause.

DALLAS COUNTY Dallas County was carved out of the Alabama Territory in 1818 and was named after Alexander J. Dallas, a Scottish immigrant lawyer.

In the heart of the fertile agri-cultural region known as the Black Belt (for its black prairie soil), Dallas County is among one of the largest counties in Alabama with a land area of 981 square miles. Cutting through the middle of the county is the Ala-bama River, which intersects with the Cahaba River on the west side of the county. Since river and rail trans-portation were so important during early history, the county grew rather rapidly with both modes of transpor-tation available.

Not long after Dallas County was formed, the state’s first permanent capital was established at Cahawba, which also served as the county seat for Dallas County. Later when the capital was moved to Tuscaloosa, the county courthouse was moved to Selma.

Dallas County was known for many years as one of the most politi-cally powerful counties in the state and at one time both U.S. Senators were from Selma. Legislators from the county dominated decisions in the legislature for many years.

SELMASelma became the dominate city in the area and is the largest of only three incorporated cities in the county. Selma came into existence in 1820, just two years after Dallas County, and was founded by William Rufus King who would later become U.S. Vice President. The name “Selma” came from one of King’s favorite Ossian poems, The Songs of Selma. Selma means “high seat” or “throne,” which is fitting since Selma became the seat of Dallas County in 1866.

The city’s early beginning means that Selma is the second oldest sur-viving city in Alabama and home to the state’s largest historic district, with many historic structures dat-

ing back to the 1800s. Thousands of tourists come to the city and county each year, many to trace their ances-tors and to attend re-enactments of two major events that pushed Selma into national and international spotlight - the Civil War in the 1860s and the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s.

Today, Selma is a combination of history and opportunity. The area’s rich history and renowned architec-ture draw thousands annually, some looking for lost relatives, some look-ing for ghosts of the past, and others just to marvel at its beauty.

VALLEY GRANDEValley Grande was founded in October of 2002 and the population quickly grew. By early 2003, Val-ley Grande officially became a city and continued to build on the rich history of the area. Much of the area of Valley Grande was land originally granted to Dr. George Phillips in 1821 from the federal government. For many years Dr. George Phillips main-tained a plantation in the area he named “Grand View.” As more people moved to the area, Grande View came to be known as Valley Grande.

Modern-day Valley Grande also encompasses the historic community of Summerfield. Established in 1819 as Valley Creek, the town was re-named Summerfield in 1845 to honor the famous Methodist preacher John Summerfield.

Today, Valley Grande continues to grow and has several neighborhoods developing throughout the city with a large portion of home construction in Dallas County being in Valley Grande. Valley Grande offers housing devel-opments, shopping, public schools offering K-12, churches, youth soccer, an outdoor walking trail, civic or-ganizations, public safety programs and a number of community oriented events to celebrate the way of life that Valley Grande has to offer.

ORRVILLEOrville was founded in 1842 by James Franklin Orr. Orr decided to settle in Dallas County on the level, lush land in this section of the Black Belt be-cause he believed it was suitable for his plans for the development of his varied interests. His dreams of estab-lishing a flourishing industrial town began to develop when he purchased 88 acres of land in 1842. By 1855, Orr had purchased over 900 acres and established a public square in the center of his town with all streets leading to the square.

Orr began to broaden his business interests and established a unique combination of enterprises, which housed a gin factory, a saw mill, a cotton gin, a planning mill, a flour mill, a grist mill, and two blacksmith shops. He also experimented with growing crops and a vineyard with a wine press. Orr invented a number of things including an air rifle and an off-set screw driver; however, his pride and joy was the gin and its patents. During the Civil War, the factory was destroyed, along with most of Orr’s property. In 1911, the old Orr home burned to the ground and lovely family heirlooms were lost forever.

Today, Orrville is home to ap-proximately 200 people and the West Dallas Antique Tractor Show, which attracts thousands of visitors to the small town.

VALLEY GRANDE GOLF COURSE

CITY MARINA

HUNTING IS A passion for many of our residents and visitors. Our commercial hunting lodges offer hunters

the opportunity to harvest prime buck, quail, and other small game.

Dallas County and its five adjoin-ing counties are known throughout the country as the “Whitetail Deer Capital of the Nation” for having more whitetail deer per acre than any other region of Ala-bama, which has more deer per acre than any state in the union.

The Alabama River provides unlimit-ed fishing, boating, and water sports from city or privately operated marinas. Bass, crappie, catfish, and bream are abundant in Alabama’s streams and lakes, includ-ing the Paul M. Grist State Park and Dallas County Lake.

You will also find golf courses, base-ball diamonds, softball diamonds, a new softball/baseball complex, hard surfaced tennis courts, and organized leagues in baseball, football, soccer, softball, and ladies’ and men’s tennis leagues.
