author
A civic booster pamphlet from 1888, this credited author appears to be the Montgomery Real Estate Agents' Association rather than a single individual. The work offers a vivid period snapshot of Montgomery, Alabama, highlighting the city's growth, resources, and ambitions in the late nineteenth century.

by Ala. Montgomery Montgomery Real Estate Agents' Association
Published records for Montgomery, the Capital City of Alabama: Her Resources and Advantages identify the author as the Montgomery Real Estate Agents' Association, Montgomery, Alabama. Library and archive listings treat the name as a corporate body, and the book itself is presented as a promotional publication for the city rather than the work of a distinct personal author.
Issued in 1888, the booklet was designed to showcase Montgomery's business prospects, transportation links, climate, and public institutions. In that sense, the credited "author" represents a group of local real-estate promoters and civic advocates who were trying to attract attention, investment, and new residents during a period of Southern urban development.
Because the attribution is organizational and no specific individual writer is clearly confirmed in the sources reviewed, there is no reliable personal life story to give here. What survives instead is an interesting historical voice: a collective pitch for Montgomery's future, preserved as a piece of local history and city promotion.
