About This Item
Woodward, AL: Woodward Iron Company, 1940. Hard Cover. Very Good+ binding. Quarto. 162, [7 (index)] pp., illus. First edition. In publisher's embossed leatherette over boards. Light rubbing to the covers, but generally a very nice and solid copy.
This work offers a brief history of the manufacture of pig iron in Alabama, which Berg calls the "most important industry in the State [and] a vital factor in the prosperity and welfare of its people" p. 7. But the really value is this histories and records of several dozen blast furnaces built and operated in Alabama, illustrated by photographs throughout. Sufficiently important that the University of Alabama Press issued a reprint of this in its "Library of Alabama Classics" series. Quite scarce in commerce; even the reprint is fairly uncommon. Brannen 4986.
