About a month ago I read Mary Inge Hoskins "Letter to the Editor" from the July 8, 1934 B'ham News and I knew right off the bat I was going to coming back to it and that I'd be learning more about Mary Inge Hoskins. Mary had been librarian @ Florence State Teachers College and she had no use for the recently published book, STARS FELL ON ALABAMA .  Mary was 76 at the time she wrote this letter concerning former University of Alabama professor Carl Carmer's book and she felt that "through the printed page" Carmer did "impugn the standards of a proud people."She mentions Tuscaloosa three times in her letter and one of the sources Carmer used to find his Alabama folk material was a Mobilian named Francis Inge. Obviously, from the way Mary ends her letter to the B'ham News, she knew all the sordid details of how Mr. Carmer had to run for his life getting out of T-town after an irate father found out that the 30 year-old Professor Carmer had been intimate with his daughter, a BAMA coed.
