In her inimitable style, story teller Kathryn Tucker Windham takes readers on a tour of the history, people, and places of the “Heart of Dixie.” First published in 1975 and long out of print, ALABAMA, ONE BIG FRONT PORCH is now reissued for the enjoyment of all. Alabama, Mrs.Windham writes, is like one big front porch where folks gather on summer nights to tell tales and to talk o family. The tale tellers don’t all look alike and they don’t all talk alike, but the stories they tell are all alike in their unmistakable Southern blend of exaggeration, humor, pathos, folklore, and romanticism.
