Bill Arp Reflects on Inertia and Alabama Tours
The writer recounts a lecturing tour ending in Birmingham and Ensley to view vast steel plants. He notes the bustling city, the immense iron and steel output, and the expected hire of 26 000 workers, with vivid color about furnaces, molds, and the immigrant-smelted economy. He travels from Childersburg to Ensley and Birmingham, praising the yeomanry of the South and cautioning against exaggeration in stories while hinting at other Alabama towns.
