SUMMARY
=======
Daniel Pratt (July 20, 1799 – May 13, 1873) was an American industrialist who pioneered ventures that opened the door for industry in the U.S. state of Alabama. Prattville in Autauga County, and Birmingham's Pratt City in Jefferson County (on the Pratt coal seam) are both named for him. He is buried in Pratt Cemetery, located on top of Ginshop Hill near downtown Prattville, Alabama.
Pratt was born in Temple, New Hampshire. He left New England in 1819 after earning a release from an architect apprenticeship that he started at age 16. He sailed for Savannah, Georgia and within two years moved to Milledgeville, Georgia. There he became a successful architect-builder and was a leader in his trade in the South by 1827. While in Georgia he met Samuel Griswold, another New Englander, who manufactured cotton gins. He had Pratt manage his factory and within a year Pratt had been promoted to partner. Pratt urged Griswold to expand into Alabama. Griswold agreed to the venture at first, but later decided against it due to conflicts there between settlers and Native Americans.
Pratt decided to go it alone, and moved to central Alabama in 1833 with his wife, two slaves, and enough materials to construct 50 gins. He relocated to an area known as McNeil's Mill and leased land along a creek in Autauga County in 1836, where he began manufacturing cotton gins. He moved further up the creek, bought 1,822 acres (737 ha), and built a permanent cotton gin factory in 1838. He founded the new town of Prattville for the workers in his venture. This operation quickly became the largest producer of cotton gins in the world, and Alabama's first major industry. As his business grew, he branched out with a sawmill, gristmill, window factory, iron foundry, woollen mill, railroad, bank, and the Oxmoor Blast Furnace in Birmingham. Pratt's businesses were badly affected by the American Civil War, as many of his workers joined the military and his customer base shrank as the economy soured.
Much credit is given Pratt's efforts for easing Alabama's economic recovery during the Reconstruction period following the Civil War. His ability to call in debts on Northern accounts allowed him to rebuild his own operations, which helped make Autauga County exceptionally stable and prosperous in the period immediately after the war. It was his backing which opened the Birmingham District to its initial development as an iron-making center.
One of Pratt's slaves, Charles Atwood, purchased a house in the center of Prattville immediately after emancipation and became one of the founding investors in his former master's railroad ventures. The presence of a respected middle-class black family in the center of a 19th-century Southern city was exceptional.

Jailen Young Prattsville Alabama Police Incident Wrestle Documentary
I watched a documentary, Independent Lens, S20 E19 Wrestle, where a officer was attempting to arrest and excite an incident with a 16 yr old american male of african descent, Jailen Young. After viewing this part of the documentary, I found there facebook page. I found numerous concerns for post and images that I don't believe display people of African descent as members of the community but only as criminals But I haven't seen any Caucasians criminals? I reviewed the site for my own city...and realized there were no images of criminals at all on the facebook pages. All post were community driven and officers interacting with the community. This leave a very negative view of equality and justice in Prattsville. I contacted the Prattsville Police Department and asked if any action been taken against the officer that is in the PBS documentary? It was explained by a Lt. Fowler that the officer has recently been promoted to Lietenant?!? View the video for yourself. If you have any concerns, I hope you share this and reach out to the Prattsville, Alabama Police Department to share them.

BEAR CREEK SWAMP a Documentary and Intense Investigation Video of Alabama's Most Haunted Swamp
LIKE, COMMENT, SHARE!! THROW ON THE HEADPHONES AND GET SPOOKY! I decided to make this little documentary/investigation about Bear Creek Swamp, one of my favorite haunted locations in Alabama. It is a very intriguing place! Located in Prattville, Alabama, the swamp is a murky bog of mystery and wonder. The local historians at the Autauga county museum tried to help me find some history on it, yet they said there seems to be no records of Bear Creek Swamp. They did say, however, that some news papers are not indexed. Let me know what you think of my video. Huge thanks to Lewis O. Powell, IV the author of Southern Spirit Guide's Haunted Alabama A Gazetteer to Ghostlore, Legends, and Haunted Places in the Heart of Dixie and to Faith Serafin, author of Haunted Montgomery, Alabama. Here is my original investigation of this swamp from last year:
