A. G. Prince

A. G. Prince (born in Birmingham) is a former steelworker, artist and author.

Prince grew up in Ensley and graduated from public schools while also working at Tennessee Coal, Iron & Railroad Company's Ensley Works, where he spent a total of five decades. He took a few years off to study commercial art under Clint Bonner at the Gulf States Art School.

Prince's drawings of steel mills appeared several times in the U. S. Steel Journal.
