Several beautiful legends have
been buill around the lovely and
romantic Monte Sano. The onc

Holmes 'nd W"h;ngcon Smeu
The
wh ite man
wooed
daughter of an I ndian chief,
'D
"Hill and valley, g len and w!ldwood,
I n a panoramic view;
'Vavlng tree tops, blooming
flowers,
Tiny
s t I' earn lets
tr-ickllng
through,"
The Indian maid and her paleface lovel' sat In silence b roken only by the man's pleading words.
But they were not a lone. Concealed in the rocks behind them lay a
young brave, deeply torn with
grief, for he, too, loved the chieftian 's daughter. Stealthily, he had
followed them each foot of
the
way.
8S his words fell impassably upon
her ears. She was stolid with an Inh~:,ent fil'mness,
Not ljle Slightest stir f ro m e\"~n
a fulling leaf was noticcable upon
Monte Sano to disturb the:n
as
they talked, seated upon a ledge
ave! looking a heavily wooded \'alley, which had seen only a few of
the covered wagons in which the
white man had come, He sat wllh
his arm around her, his mouth
pl'essed against her ebony ha;r so
s m oothly held by thc ribbon h e hed
given her, As if In deep thought,
she leaned slightly forwlll'.:I,
tcr
hea d bowed, her hands folth-] in
her lap,
The wa lTlol" was battling with a
love which had followed him si nce
he f irst had roamed the forests
with this dark-eyed girl. H er memory had led him into more than
one battle, or had encouraged him
during his jousts wi t h other young
bucks of h is tribe. Now this paleface had come between them.
"When the air was sweet nnd
balmy,
Softly blown by Southern bHleze,
Indian maid and paleface lever
Loitered 'neath the forast tre-es,
"He hears the white man , 'Darling Monte,
T ell me I m ay ever stay
With you in this land of beauty;
D o not darling, tell me n ay!'"
"Now they climb the rllgged
mountain,
Gain at last its lofty height,
Sitting by a gian t bouldel',
Gaze upon a wond rous s ight,
These wOI'ds bl"Ought an uncontrollable s hudder from the young
brave:
"Must he lose his childhood's
idol,
Will the white man w i n
heart?
Leave him crushed, his
fond
hopes blasted,
Living from h is kind apart?"
"But s he answered not, for near

In her own tongue whispered
low,
Pleads her Indian lover softly,
'Monte, say no! Monte, say no!'
"Then she turned to the
white
man
Bade h i m
to hi s f r iends
ce·
t urn,
Should she wed him, ever after
For her own her heart would
yearn.
"She would wed her Indian lover,
They wou ld I'oam the forest wild;
Not for her the white man's
dwelling,
She was ever natlll'e's child."
Th us ended that romantic scene
upon the mou n tain many,
many
years ago. A white settler 's love
refused by an I ndian gil'l, to keep
unspoiled her beloved fOI'cstS!
"Years have passed, and man
and maiden
Each a lowly g l'ave has found;
But their spirits ever wander
Through their happy hunting
ground.
"Bu t to us they've left the mountain,
Glorious in the sunset's glow,
As when christened by the warriOI',
'Monte, say no! Monte, say no!'"
In this way Monte Sana got its
name, according to the legend of
an unknown author. From the
depths of a warrior's torn h ea l"t behind the rocks that day came a
combinatiOn of syllables which was
to be carried in time to many distant corners.

Born in 1804 beside a
crystalclear spring, Cl'adled between majestic m ountains, Huntsville recei ved her name from John Hunt ,
one of the eady settlers. In addition to the beautiful scenery, the
fertility of the so il quickly
attracted many colonists .

Within a pel"iod of four yeal's,
Madison County, with
Huntsville
as county seat, was created by t h e
governor of Mississip pi Tenitory.
The population had reached 5,000.
So great was Gen. Andrew Jackson's belief in the futUl'e o f thi s
city ,that he bought large
tracts

of land, and freqUented

The next ten years saw the ap-

City was to play in the

DUring the years which followed,

Hu ntsville 's agricultural
pI'osperity. The most famous indust!'ial

mill , which manufactured
cotton

South.
In additio n to the textile industry, there were a flour mill, "boot

"hat

making." and the manufacture of
COppfH' stills and pumps.

Description
An account of the resource
Dr. Frances Cabaniss Roberts was born December 19, 1916 in Gainesville, Alabama, a daughter of Richard H. and Mary (Watson) Roberts. She graduated from Livingston State College, earning her B.S. in 1937, and then the University of Alabama, earning her M.A. in 1940, then her PhD in 1956. Her 1940 M.A thesis was "An Experiment in Emancipation of Slaves by an Alabama Planter;" her 1956 PhD dissertation was "Background and Formative Period in the Great Bend and Madison County," 1956.
She began her professional career as a public school teacher first in Sumter County, Alabama and then in Huntsville, Alabama, 1937-1952. In Huntsville, Roberts taught history at Huntsville High School and then at the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), where she was a vigorous participant in the formation of that University. (The Extension Center, then at West Huntsville High School, opened in January 1950.) From 1955 to 1956, she was the only full-time faculty member.
Dr. Roberts served in many roles at UAH: instructor 1953-1956; assistant professor, 1956-1959; associate professor, 1959-1961; professor of history beginning in 1961 until her retirement on August 31st, 1980. In 1988, Dr. Roberts was honored with the dedication of Roberts Recital Hall. The University System Trustees issued this statement concerning the special day: "Dr. Roberts was one of the founding faculty of the University of Alabama in Huntsville, established the University History Department, and was its first full-time history professor. She devoted 18 years to the public schools and 29 years of dedicated service to UAH and accepting only the highest scholarly standards and inspiring generations of students to expand their academic horizons."
The collection of Dr. Roberts’ papers reflects her total immersion in the education, social, religious, musical, and literary life of the community as she led by doing. Frances Cabaniss Roberts died November 5, 2000 at the age of 83, leaving a legacy of leadership and dedication to the community.
