If you are a serious student of the Wiregrass, READ THIS ONLINE BOOK! The part about the Dothan area starts on page 51 under the heading THE LIME-SINK REGION. Here's a sample:"The percentage of illiteracy in the aggregate population in 1910 was a little lower than in the regions previously described, probably mostly because a large percentage of the population has come in from other regions and states, and one has to have a little education in order to read real estate advertisements and railroad time tables preparatory to moving to a new home. The illiteracy percentage for Dothan (total population over 10 years old, including nearly as many Negroes as whites) is actually lower than in Boston, Mass., which was once regarded as the center of all culture in the western hemisphere." https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015058455109;view=1up;seq=51
