Excerpt from History of Conecuh County, Alabama: Embracing a Detailed Record of Events From the Earliest Period to the Present, Biographical Sketches of Those Who Have Been Most Conspicuous in the Annals of the County, A Complete List of the Officials of Conecuh Wed that the good people Of Conecuh will not be unduly distressed at the unsavory name Of their county. As the rose by any other name would smell as sweet, SO it stands to good reason that the goodly land Of Conecuh, swept, as it is, by the resinous airs Of its own healthful pine forests, visited by the fragrant breezes of the peninsula Of orange ¿owers, and wooed by a touch Of the sultry breath Of Old Ocean himself, smells sweet in spite Of its ugly name. After several conjectures, against all of which he raised some Objection, Prof. Wyman urged that the whole matter be submitted to Col. Cruikshank, whose practical knowledge Of the Indian dialect enabled him to give the meaning presented on the first page. The county took its name from the stream Of the same name which penetrates its eastern portion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
