The
Burning of the
University
of Alabama
Around
midnight, a rider from town approached the President’s
Mansion. Moments later President Garland ran across
the campus from his home, crying, “Beat the long
roll! The Yankees are in town!”
Dear Friends,
In honor of the 175th anniversary of The University of Alabama, Alabama Heritage is
bringing back an old favorite: Clark Center’s 1990 article about the destruction
of the university campus by Union troops during the Civil War. We invite you
to read the article on our website at this link: www.alabamaheritage.com/UAburning.htm
Please enjoy this little treasure!
