| Summary | "Montgomery, the Capital City of Alabama: Her Resources and Advantages" is a historical account presumably written in the late 19th century, around the year 1888. The book serves as a promotional pamphlet issued under the auspices of the Montgomery Real Estate Agents' Association. It highlights the resources, infrastructure, and advantages of Montgomery as a burgeoning city in Alabama, emphasizing its potential for industrial and agricultural development. The book outlines Montgomery’s transformation from a small, war-exhausted town of 6,000 people in 1865 to a robust city of 30,000 in 1888, showcasing its growth spurred by trade and investment opportunities in agriculture, minerals, and timber. Detailed sections describe the city’s health standards, water supply, educational system, and transportation facilities, all presenting Montgomery as an attractive location for both residents and investors. It stresses the city’s strategic position for commerce, rich agricultural lands, and available resources for industries such as cotton manufacturing and various trades, effectively advocating for business development and migration to this southern capital.
