The Iron City of America

[Mark Kohut]

In the 1913 edition of Adams' Mont-Saint Michel and Chartres (from the
Harvard Library, in Google Books),
this phrase as well as the phrase "the Black Country" of England are used
in present-day contrast to the 'day' in which Chartres was built.

The writer sorta wonders whether and thereby hopes another unified 13th Century
could come.
