Greetings from BIRMINGHAM

ALABAMA

Birmingham, the capital of Alabama, is the "Pittsburg of the South."  This  district leads the world in the production of cast iron pipe and is also one of the leading yellow pine and hardwood markets of the South.

pub: KROPP CO

(Mistake in the text: Birmingham is not the Capital of Alabama.

Montgomery is the Capital of Alabama.)

Deadwood

Deadwood, So. Dak.,  as in 1878

This picturesque city in the Black Hills is reminiscent of the wild frontier and mining days.  Mining is still carried on extensively in the region, particularly at lead and great quantities of ore are reduced at Deadwood.The "Days of 76" celebration is held in early August each year, combining a rodeo with early day Gold Rush scenes.  The "Trail of Hickok" is staged several nights during the summer.

Interesting points to visit are Mt. Moriah Cemetery on Hill overlooking the city, containing graves of Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane, Preacher Smith and Potato Creek Johnny.

The Adams Memorial contains historical collection, reminiscent of Pioneer Life in the Black Hills
