Blooms of Old Cahaba is a compilation of six years of research and was inspired by the Givhan family history and Cahaba, the first capitol of Alabama and one of the greatest lost jewels of the Old South. From the years of flourish, before the Civil War, affluent Cahaba was widely celebrated all over the world for its rich bounty and the finest cotton land known to civilized man.

Blooms of Old Cahaba consists of something for everyone–stories from the Old South, passed down from many generations of family and friends and told as correctly as can be for hearsay through the years.

It contains excerpts from the diary of a Civil War soldier who was fighting in Wilson’s Raid in Selma, Alabama while writing his story–a first-hand account and much more.

You will understand how our history affects the current generation through the eyes of a young man leaving his childhood for college but not before he comprehends his past.

Blooms of Old Cahaba holds many documents and artifacts including diaries and wills, awards, and commendations of the Givhan family from early 1800s and includes many other historical documents and facts, all rolled together in an intriguing novel that takes you time traveling from before the Civil War into modern day.
