"A remarkable volume is The Story of Coal and Iron in Alabama by
Ethel Armes. This handsome work gives a complete history of the
development of coal and iron in Alabama. The volume rings with the
sentiment of the early pioneers, has quaint photographs of the
ruins of old blast furnaces, pictures of the early leaders,
letters, bills of lading and illustrations of modern
plants."--Sidney W. Ashe, New York Times Saturday Review of Books,
Aug. 20, 1910
"The documentation of Birmingham's industrial heritage began at its
apogee, with Ethel Armes."--Alex Lichtenstein, Labor History
"The principal authority for the general treatment of the history
of coal, and of iron and steel, in Alabama is the work of Miss
Ethel Armes. The Story of Coal and Iron in Alabama, is a
comprehensive and scholarly work portraying in attractive style the
growth of the mineral industries in its relation to the development
of the state and of the South, in preparation of which the author
spent more than five years." --Thomas McAdory Owen, History of
Alabama
