ALABAMA BLAST FURNACES
19408658Woodward 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. <br /> <br /> 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. Woodward Iron Company unknown
