From quiet crossroads and fading railroad towns to river landings, old churches, country stores, and forgotten backroads, Places I Have Been: Monroe County, Alabama is a journey through the communities that helped shape one of South Alabama’s most historic counties.
In this book, photographer, storyteller, and independent historian Jackson Knight travels across Monroe County visiting places both well known and nearly forgotten. Along the way he explores the history, people, traditions, and changing landscapes of communities such as Uriah, Frisco City, Excel, Beatrice, Claiborne, Monroeville, and many others.
Blending local history with personal observations and firsthand familiarity with the region, this book captures the character of rural South Alabama through stories of railroads, timber towns, farming communities, old stores, churches, schools, cemeteries, and the roads that still connect them all.
Rather than focusing only on famous landmarks, Places I Have Been shines a light on the small places that many people pass every day without ever truly seeing — places where generations of history still linger beneath rusted tin roofs, towering pine trees, and quiet country roads.
Accompanied by photographs and written in a warm, conversational style, this book serves as both a tribute to Monroe County and a record of communities whose stories deserve to be remembered.
Whether you have deep roots in Monroe County or simply love the history and culture of small-town Alabama, this journey through the backroads of South Alabama offers a glimpse into a world that is steadily changing, yet still very much alive.
