In Tuscaloosa he operated a popular tavern, and he later bought a resort hotel at Blount Springs. Mary Duffee was born in Alabama in 1840 and spent many summers with her family at the resort. It was the journey to and from Blount Springs that inspired Duffee's best-known work, Sketches of Alabama, which originally appeared as fifty-nine articles in the Birmingham Weekly Iron Age in 1886 and 1887. She also contributed articles to several out-of-state newspapers, 607 $aAlabama$xDescription and travel 607 $aAlabama$xHistory$y1819-1950 676 $a917.610461 700 $aDuffee$b Mary Gordon$f1843 or 4-1920.$01553443 701 $aBrown$b Virginia Pounds$0186016 701 $aNabers$b Jane Porter$01553444 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778044403321 996 $aMary Gordon Duffee's Sketches of Alabama ; being an account of the journey from Tuscaloosa to Blount Springs through Jefferson County on the old stage roads$93813988 997 $aUNINA
