"Montgomery, the Capital City of Alabama: Her Resources and Advantages" by Montgomery Montgomery Real Estate Agents' Association is a promotional piece from the late 1800s that paints a vibrant picture of Montgomery, Alabama, as a land of opportunity. The book illustrates a recovering city, once a small town of only 6,000 people worn down by war in 1865, and demonstrates how it has blossomed into a thriving hub of 30,000 people by 1888 through aggressive expansion, agriculture, and smart investments. It is a bold advertisement, enticing newcomers and investors with promises of plentiful resources, from fertile lands ready for farming to rich mineral deposits ripe for exploitation. Through detailed descriptions of the city's clean water, strong schools, and readily available transportation, the narrative urges readers to witness Montgomery’s transformation into the ideal place to build lives and fortunes.
