Stars fell on Alabama.
Stars Fell on Alabama was written by Carl Lamson Carmer (1893-1976), who grew up in upstate New York. In it, Carmer relates his six years of living among the people and culture of Alabama in the 1920s. More than 70 years after its publication, students, scholars, and the general public still read the book and enjoy the stories that Carmer heard during his years in Alabama.
