The Free State of Winston offers a rich visual and historical journey through Winston County, Alabama—a region known for its independence, rugged terrain, and deep Appalachian roots. Drawing from nearly 200 rare photographs, authors Dr. Don Dodd and Dr. Amy Bartlett-Dodd explore the county’s evolution from a remote, self-reliant farming community to a symbol of Southern resilience. Highlighting its opposition to the Confederacy, the impact of the Bankhead National Forest, and the lives of its resourceful people, this book paints a vivid portrait of a uniquely independent corner of American history.
