This ambitious exploratio.n is part of NASA's manned space flight program. The lunar landing is a national goal, and its achievement will reflect the nation's vision and the strength of today's science and technology. Saturn launch vehicles developed by the Marshall Space Flight Center will place Apollo spacecraft into earth orbit for testing and flight experience, and later on will hurl them to the moon. The Manned Spacecraft Center at Houston selects and trains the astronauts. NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida assem­ bles the three-stage rocket and spacecraft in the world's largest building, trundles them upright to the launch pad three miles away, and starts the three Apollo astro­ nauts on their lunar journey. The steps to the moon -- and return to earth -- are shown in the photo sequence on the next page. GEORGE C.

John Sparkman Hand �HISTORICAL COMPOSITION OF THE MADISON COUNTY ·coURTHOUSE MURAL It was the ancient prophet Isaiah who commanded, 11 Look unto the rock whence ye are hewn� 11 And with this thought in mind, . this historical mural has been cre­ ated to depict many individuals as symbolic of groups who have striven in their the solid separate ways to make' possible · -- ' growth and development of Huntsville and Madison County. For thousands of years before white men entered the Tennessee River Valley to claim it as their own, the Indians had lived simple but fruitful lives in the valley amid an abundance of natural resources. Although the prehistoric groups who lived here l�ft no record of dramatic incidents concerning individuals, their village sites along the banks 0f streams and near springs have given archeolo­ gists and anthropologists much insight into the lives of these people as they moved from a hunting, fishing, and gathering-type of econ0my to <a mere settled agrarian life, By the time explorers began to record their observations of Indi­ an life in the "Great Bend of the Tennessee River, 11 the Cherokees and Chickasaws were both settled in the area. *(l, 2, 3, 4) As the Cher0kees moved west along the Tennessee and the Chickasaws east, they came into conflict with one another over who had the best claim to the 11Great·Bend. 11 Studies of village sites of the eighteenth century indicate that the Indians had begun to supplement their simple diets with vegetables and grain which they produced by cultivating the rich lands along the rivers, Their weapons had greatly improved and their arts and crafts were also well-developed, but they were still far behind the white man's civilization. Shortly after the American Revolution, a group of men from Tennessee, North Carolina, and Georgia began to take steps to acquire the lands in the 11 Bend of the Tennessee, 11 and for more than three decades their unsuccessful attempts con­ tinued, Finally in 1802, the state of Georgia ceded its claim to Alabama and Mississippi to the federal government, thus opening the way for settlement. In 1805 and 1807, agents of the federal government, using the conflicting claims of the Chickasaws and Cherokees as a wedge, forced these Indians to relinquish their titles to a triangular area which was organized as Madison County in 1808. It would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to establish by documen­ tary evidence just when the first white settlers crossed over the Tennessee line and began to build log cabins on the fertile lands in protected coves and along the banks of Flint River in what is now Madison County. However, Judge·Thomas Jones Taylor, local historian of the late nineteenth century, recorded an inter­ view with Isaac Criner, pioneer settler, who lived to be ninety-four. According to Criner, he and his brother, Joseph, explored the northeastern part of what is now Madison County in 1804, and built a log cabin for Joseph 1 s family near Cri­ ner I s Spring on the Mountain F0rk of Flint River. Judge Taylor also listed the fam� ilies of Samuel Davis, Stephen McBroom, Thomas McBreom, James Walker, Leban Rice, John McCartney, Levi Hinds, and John Grayson as very early settlers in the county. (S, 6, 7) In 1805, John Hunt (8) brought his family from East Tennessee to live in a log * Numbers in text refer to numbered diagram of mural. -2- �cabin near a big spring that soon came to be known as Hunt's Spring. Other fam­ ilies joined him, and within four years a squatter· settlement known as Huntsville had grown up around the spring. From 1804 to 1809, the influx of settlers into the county was very rapid. Since many people in the older settled areas had some knowledge of the rich lands in the "Great Bend of the Tennessee, 11 frontier settlers who were natives of Vir­ ginia and North Carolina soon migrated to the area from the borders of civiliza­ tion in eastern and Middle Tennessee and Western Georgia. The heads of many of these families were men who had fought in the American Revolution and partici­ pated in expeditions against the Indians. They were men of small to moderate means who had come with the hope of acquiring rich land cheaply, More than 300 of these families made application to the federal government in 1808 to buy their lands when the tracts were placed on sale at a public land office. These hardy pioneers, who were already accustomed to carving out a civilized society from the frontier, wasted no time in establishing a settled pattern of living. Seven squatter villages emerged in various parts of the county. People worship­ ed in small groups, shared the concerns of daily life, and administered justice in "frontier style." By August· of 1809, the federal surveyor, Thomas Freemen, had completed his work in Madison County, and a public land office had been located in N�shville, Tennessee, for the purpose of auctioning these surveyed lands. What many of the pioneer settlers of Madison County did not foresee was their vulnerability to the designs of planters with capital from older states, who were seeking fertile cotton lands, and to the schemes of land speculators. During the sale of Madison County lands which began on August 7 and ended on September 16, 1809, many of the original settlers were disappointed because they , were unable to bid high enough to purchase their homesteads. Land around Hunt's Spring brought the highest prices, for it was evident that the land speculators as well as the original settlers recognized the settlement as the logical loca­ tion for the county seat. The quarter section containing the Big Spring was sold on August 25 for $23.50 an acre--almost four times the price of any other piece of land offered at the first sale. LeRoy Pope (1765-1844) (9) of Peters­ burg, Georgia, and his associates from Nashville, Tennessee, secured this site, and immediately laid plans for having it chosen as the county seat. John Hunt and a number of the original settlers at Hunt's Spring bought less expensive lands elsewhere in the county, but only forty-three percent of those enumerated in the 1808 squatter census were listed as land owners in the tax returns of 1815. Many who had dreamed of securing rich land at a low price had moved on with the tide of migration to a new frontier. In 1810, the official name of the settlement became Twickenham, as LeRoy Pope's plan for the town was accepted by the commissioners appointed to choose the county seat. A year later the town was renamed Huntsville and incorporated on November 25, 1811, by the Mississippi Territorial Legislature, In 1811, the Nashville Land Office was moved to Huntsville, and the sale of land continued, as a steady stream of small farmers and planters made their way to Madison County to establish their homes. By 1818, a flourishing commercial area had developed arounp the town's Public Square to serve the needs of those engaged in agricultural pursuits. In 1817 and 1818, the Huntsville land office sold most of the lands in north­ ern Mississippi and the newly created Alabama Territory which had been ceded by the Creeks, Cherkees, and Chickasaws, The town was crowded with people from all parts of the nation as they came to invest in town sites and farms in the Tennessee Valley. -3- �Huntsville served as the temporary capital of Alabama from July 2 to December 17, 1819. Here, John Williams Walker (1783-1823) (10) served as president of the first Constitutional Convention, Clement Comer Clay (1789-1866) (11) chaired the committee which drafted the document, and William Wyatt Bihb (1781-1820) (12) was inaugurated Alabama's first state governor at the courthouse on November 9, 1819. His brother, Thomas ,Bibb, prominent in the early development of Madison County, later succeeded him as governor in 1820. Madison County also furnished a large number of political leaders who were im­ portant in local, state and national government in the period from 1819 to 1860. Walker became one of Alabama's first United States Senators, and four of his sons later served in state and national government. His living descendants still con­ tribute to the development of Huntsville and Madison County, and a great, great grandson is presently serving as a Congressman from Missouri. Clay later served as a legislator, congressman, governor and United States Senator. One of his sons, Clement Claiborne Clay followed in his footsteps as United States Senator while another son, J. Withers Clay edited 11The Democrat, 11 a local newspaper, for more than forty years. Gabriel Moore (1785-1845) (13) held the office of tax a:ssessor, territorial representative, state speaker of the house of representa­ tives, congressman, governor, and United States Senator from Alabama, Ruben Chapman (1799-1882) (14) younger brother of Samuel Chapman, first county judge, served as congressman, then governor of Alabama, Other leaders emerged from the vrowd to aid the economic, civic, and cultural growth of Madison County, Among this group were Dr. Thomas Fearn (1789-1863) (15), Dr, David Moore (1789-1845) (16), and Dr. Charles Patton (1806-1866) (17). They and other like them, helped to establish and maintain an economic base for fruitful living. They used their resources, over and above the call of duty, to help build churches, schools, theaters, libraries, lecture halls, and parks. They helped to maintain community government to protect life and property and to render services which individuals could not finance. Descendants of many of these men still form an important segment of the leadership in Hunt3ville and Madison County today. The old saying that "many good works are known only to God 11 can be applied to countless thousands who aided in the development of Madison Coi;.nty through the years. The slave labor force (18) which numbered more than half of the popula­ tion in 1860 contributed its share to the agricultural production of the county. Farmers and planters contributed their efforts to make the economy prosper during the ante-bellum period, Skilled craftsmen and builders such as George Steele and Thomas and William Brandon created beautiful structures which have endured to the present time, Outstanding ministers, lawyers, judges, and scholars of Madison County spread their influence far beyond its boundaries. When the War between the States broke out in 1861, the county furnished its share of officers (19) and enlisted men (20, 21) who fought for 11The Cause" 11 One of the most colorful figures of this period was Captain Frank Gurley (1834-1920) (22) who not only survived many narrow escapes, but also kept alive the spirit of those who fought for the Confederacy for many years after the war, The county also furnished leaders who opposed secession and sought to reunite the South with the United States. The reconstruction period from 1865 to 1875 was a very difficult time for the people of Madison County. Faced with the problems which accompany inefficient government and economic depression, the county's leaders began to explore new avenues of economic endeavor. With the return to more normal times in the late 1870 1 s, the citizens of Madison County took a more active interest in state and national affairs, but few of them became successful candidates for state and -4- �national office. The only notable exception during the period from 1865 to 1937 was Judge William Richardson (1839-1914) (23) who served as Congressman from the Eighth District from 1899 until his death in 1914. Between 1880 and 1900, business leaders worked to revitalize the economy by improving agriculture and encouraging a variety of industries. Nurseries were established, cotton textile mills built, and numbers of small factories opened to produce wood products, small tools, and implements. Monte Sano was developed as a summer resort and people were encouraged to build summer homes on the "Mountain of Health. 11 Diversification of agriculture brought increased wealth to the county's rural population, and this prosperity in turn helped the growth of commercial interests in the towns. New banks were chartered, railroads built, and roads improved, Typical of this generation were business and civic leaders such as Henry B. Chase (1870-1962) (24) and Dan C. Monroe (1869-1957) (25). Not only was Chase president of Chase Nursery for many years, but he also served as mayor of Huntsville without pay and gave his support to churches, schools, city beautification, and historic preservation for more than seventy years. Monroe, who operated a number of businesses including a music store and a printing com­ pany, gave much of his time to organizing musical groups and initiating other cultural activities for Huntsville and Madison County. In the field of education, Samuel R. Butler (1868-1947) (26) and William H. Council (1848-1909) (27) were among those who provided leadership in the de­ velopment of public schools. Butler gave his whole life to the improvement of public education in Huntsville and Madison County. Council, an outstanding leader in the Negro community, was largely responsible for the counding of Ala­ bama A. and M. College, and served as its first president. His work and that of Dr, J. F. Drake resulted in the development of a four-year, state-supported cqllege for Negroes in Madison County. Of the many who served ably in the offices od county government during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, Fannie Shepherd Cabaniss (18551937) (28) and Judge Thomas W. Jones (1876-1958) (29) are outstanding for their long and faithful service to the people of Madison County, Miss Cabaniss work­ ed with her father, the first register in chancery, until his death, and con­ tinued to serve in this office for forty,-two years longer. Trained in the field of law, she was a guide and counselor for many people including three generations of young lawyers, Judge Jones spent most of his adult life in the probate office. The grandson of Probate Judge Thomas Jones Taylor, he began his work as a clerk in the court at an early age and then served as probate judge for thirty years until his retirement in 1952, The role played by women in Madison County's history has been largely t hat of homemaker and guide for the men who assumed leadership in all aspects of group life. But Martha Patton Darwin (1876-1966) (30) and Howard Weeden (1847-1905) (31) are worthy of mention for special reasons. Mrs. Darwin, wife of Dr, James Darwin and mother of three children, found time to render outstanding service as librarian of the Huntsville Public Library from 1917 to 1940. Miss Weeden, on the other hand, devoted her whole life to preserving 11 Gems of the Old South" through the media of art and poetry. Dr. Carl Grote (1887 •-1964) (32) the first full-time public health officer in Madison County, was also influential in the development of public hospital faci­ lities. Hiw work, together with that of many dedicated physicians and dentists, has resulted in the emergence of Huntsville as a well,-recognized medical center in the south. During the twentieth century, Madison County, along with the state and nation, -5- �experienced many changes. The growth of rapid means of transportation and commun­ ication and the development of cheap electrical power by the Tennessee Valley J• Authority helped to improve rural agricultural economy and link it with urban in­ dustrial life. Commercial areas in the smaller towns lost much of their business to Huntsville when it began to emerge as one of the larger cities of Alabama. Madison County 1 s contribution to the wars of the twentieth century included many officers of high rank as well as thousands of enlisted men. Among this·· group were several whose bravery has merited the nation 1 s highest award-the Con­ gressional Medal of Honor. (33) i ) During World War II, a tract of 40,000 acres of farm land south of Huntsville was purchased by the federal government as a site for two large arsenals. The operation of these installations caused a modest influx of people into Madison County. Between 1940 and 1950 the population increased from 66,317 to 72,903. When the two arsenals were combined in 1950 and redeveloped as Redstone Arsenal, the center for guided missile and rocket research, an even larger influx resulted. By January of 1�67, the population of Huntsville had risen to an estima.ted T44,om people and that of Madison County to 194,000. Dr. Wernher von Braun (1912) (34), Director of the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center since its creation by the National Aeronautics and Space Ad­ ministration in 1960, has been a key figure in the missile and space vehicle pro­ grams of the United States. He and members of his team as well as other leaders in the Redstone Arsenal complex, have contributed much to the enrichment of economic, social, and cultural life in the county. In recent years the political leadership of Madison County has once again emerged�n state and national affairs. Representative of this group is Senator John Sparkman (1899) (35) who has served in the Congress of the United States since 1937. After completing five terms in the House of Representatives, he was elected to the post of United States Senator from Alabama .in 1946,. a position which he currently holds. 'j Today the people of Madison County are still on the move toward high goals. As in years past, many of its leaders are rendering services over and above the call of duty in order to keep Madison County a place where all groups can enjoy purposeful living, realizing that a successful future depen�s upon harmonious utilization of natural and human resources.

U.S. Army missiles are the proud products of the people who stand behind them. More than 12,000 men and women, military and civilian personnel are engaged in this vital de­ fense work at Redstone Arsenal. The Ameri­ can soldier depends on the long experience and know-how of these scientists, technicians, engineers, secretaries and shopmen to develop superior weapons and keep them operating once they join the troops in the field. AVENUE * DRAKE I It takes money - more than a billion dollars a year - to provide these up-to-date weapons for the Army. The Army missile dollar is spent across the length and breadth of America with more than 40 prime contrac­ tors, 300 first-tier subcontractors and more than 5,400 subcontractors in almost every state of the union. The Army missile programs at Redstone Arsenal support thousands of jobs. The Army's local payroll alone means $150 million annually. The Army rocket test stands, missile firing range, development lab­ oratories and other facilities scattered over Redstone's 40,000 acres represent an invest­ ment of more than $275,000,000. ,..,"' z Us 72 AVENUE Q 0:: z .... 0 � * MARKS THE US ARMY MISSILE DISPLAY AT REDSTONE ARSENAL, A LA. HOME OF---- U.S.ARMY MISSILES MISSILE DISPLAY OPEN DAILY 10 AM - 4:30 PM SUNDAY 1 - 4:30 PM CLOSED MONDAY �What we do ... The Army put Redstone Arsenal and the Huntsville community into the missile busi­ ness in 1949. Since then missile units have been stationed around the world but Redstone Arsenal remains the home of Army rockets and missiles. I Missiles are not manufactured at Redstone -that job is done by private industry at plants throughout the United States. At the Arsenal missile systems are designed, tested and managed. The Army is constantly at work exploring new technology, checking to see that Army missiles are ready to work under the severest of conditions, and su­ pervising the contracts awarded to private companies which produce actual missile hard­ ware. Soldiers who maintain the missiles are trained here in the Army's only school de­ voted to such instruction. • Short motion pictures explaining the work done at Redstone Arsenal are shown fre­ quently in an auditorium at the Army Display which includes indoor exhibits explaining the Army's different missile systems. We hope you enjoy your visit. Your tax dollars bought you a share in our operation. Come back any time. t I And while you're here ... The George C. Marshall Space Flight Center, home of much of the research work for America's civilian space agency, is adja­ cent to Army activities at Redstone. The cen­ ter also maintains an orientation and display area open to the public. Directions to the Marshall Center may be obtained at the Army Display. I Why Missiles? l Exhibits and displays in this area have been designed to give you some idea of the scope and complexity of this world-wide ef­ fort. We are proud of Redstone Arsenal and the job being done here to defend you and your family. The Army Team at Redstone ... orbited the Free World's first scientific earth satel­ lite ...fired the Free World's first successful deep space probe ...launched and recovered the first primates to make a\ub-orbital space flight ... pioneered the quick-reacting solid fuel rocket motors now used in almost all military missiles ... solved the missile re­ entry problem with the first heat protected nose cone ... scored the first intercept and kill of an airplane with a guided missile ... scored the first intercept and kill of a ballistic missile with another missile ...proved that an intercontinental ballistic missile could in fact be intercepted in flight by a defensive missile ... and as a direct result of military research, designed and built the world's first laser sur­ gical tool for the internal treatment of human cancer as part of a cooperative effort in which Army experts here aided the National Insti­ tutes of Health in exploring the possibilities of destroying cancer cells with high energy light. The Record ... Much of the Army work that goes on here is shrouded in military secrecy. But we don't have to talk about what we are doing-our record speaks for itself. The Army knows that missiles and rockets do many jobs for the soldier better than any other weapons. For example, they extend his reach by hurling more destructive warheads over greater distances than artillery guns. They seek out and destroy airplanes and mis­ siles flying faster and higher than the reach of either fighter planes or guns on the ground. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
