Philip Henry Gosse (1810-1888), a British naturalist, left home at age seventeen and made his way to Alabama in 1838. He was employed by Judge Reuben Saffold and other planters near Pleasant Hill in Dallas County as a teacher for about a dozen of their children, but his principal interest was natural history. Letters from Alabama is a personalized record of Gosse's perceptive observations durin 410 0$aLibrary of Alabama classics. 606 $aNatural history$zAlabama 607 $aAlabama$xDescription and travel 615 0$aNatural history 676 $a508.761 700 $aGosse$b Philip Henry$f1810-1888.$088488 701 $aMullen$b Gary R$g(Gary Richard)$042355 701 $aLittleton$b Taylor$01563123 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786186503321 996 $aLetters from Alabama$93831306 997 $aUNINA
