By the turn of the 20th Century, Cullman was firmly established as the preeminent settlement in the hill country between the Tennessee Valley and the mineral region surrounding Birmingham. The Cullman, Alabama Tribune continued to record news of the development of the city, county, and surrounding region. As with the first three books of this series, microfilm was obtained from the State Archives in Montgomery and Wallace College at Hanceville and reviewed, along with originals from the Cullman County Court house.
