From the back cover: "Taming Alabama focuses on persons and groups who sought to bring about reforms in the political, legal, and social worlds of Alabama. Most of the subjects of these essays accepted the fundamental values of 19th- and early 20th-century white southern society; and all believed, or came to believe, in the transforming power of law. As a starting point in creating the groundwork of genuine civility and progress in the state, these formers insisted on equal treatment and due process in elections, allocation of resources, and legal proceedings."
