Tombigbee River

Once the site of the first capitol of Alabama in St Stephens and described in the Travels of William Bartram, the Tombigbee has suffered mightily from the heavy hand of man. It has been dammed, drained and polluted with chemical companies and most recently connected to the Tennessee River through an unbelievably expensive project called the Tenn-Tom Waterway. You will still find hunting camps, swamps, black belt prairies, old towns, Indian lore and dinasaur bones. The name "Tombigbee" is a derivative of the Choctaw word for "box maker" or "coffin maker." This name referred to a strange spiritual shamen of the Choctaw tribe, sometimes called "buzzard men" who performed lengthy and unusual rituals for the dead. These rituals took several months, allowing the body to decompose, after which the shamen would clean the flesh from the bones before placing the skeleton in a box to await burial. (Cruising Guide)
