The Gorgas House was built in 1829 and is one of the oldest buildings still here at the University of Alabama. The building has served many purposes at the University over the years. The Hall was initially built as a dining hall back when the University had only a few men attending. About fifteen years later, the hall was turned into a place for faculty to reside after the dining hall was deemed too hard to manage. On August 4, 1865, Yankee troops invaded the University and burnt down most of the buildings, which they believed were aiding the Confederate troops in the War.

Is John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress autobiographical? Before Bunyan wrote Pilgrim’s Progress, he wrote his spiritual autobiography, Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners. In this book, he tells of his conversion and many of his struggles before and after. There are many similarities between Bunyan’s experiences in Grace Abounding and in what he wrote about in Pilgrim’s Progress: Bunyan’s and Christian’s (the main character in Pilgrim’s Progress) journey to salvation was very similar, Bunyan and Christian had similar experiences concerning God’s promises, and the man in the iron cage (in Pilgrim’s Progress) represents a situation Bunyan went through when he thought he could not be saved.
