Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western Kentucky represented, in the time period covered by this book from the 1950s-80s, the bulk of coal mining in North America. Attributed to in John Prine’s famous song “Paradise,” Muhlenberg County is home to Kentucky's first commercial coal mine named the McLean Drift Bank. At one point, Muhlenberg County produced more coal than any county, state, or country as the largest producer of coal in the world. The massive mining machines documented herein show how this was possible through vintage and colorful photography. Production statistics are detailed for each piece of equipment, laced with historical facts and stories about the mines and mining companies that operated them. Includes a rare look at some of the old draglines that have been re-started and are digging in Western Kentucky once again thanks to new technology.
Download or read book The Economics of Kentucky Coal written by Curtis E. Harvey and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The energy problem confronting the United States has focused attention on Kentucky's coal. Mr. Harvey here presents a comprehensive analysis of the coal industry in Kentucky, which consistently produces more than a fifth of the nation's coal. Because the coal industries in eastern and western Kentucky differ in many respects, Mr. Harvey has analyzed them separately. Although faced with competition from the foreign oil market, prospects for eastern Kentucky coal seem favorable because of its high quality and easy access to markets. The future of the coal industry in western Kentucky, Mr. Harvey asserts, depends upon implementation and enforcement of air-pollution standards, pending legislation regulating strip mining, fuel-import prices and policies, foreign currency fluctuations, and other factors. He foresees a moderate growth in the coal industry over the next five to ten years.

This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on the Coal and Iron Ores of Western Kentucky "The Report of W. B. Caldwell, Jr., Metallurgist of the Kentucky Geological Survey, will be found elsewhere in this issue. We bespeak for this exceedingly valuable paper a very attentive perusal. It furnishes an exhibit of some of our most important resources (coal and iron), which, coming from the source it does, can not fail to attract attention abroad. It is a document which should be printed in pamphlet form and scattered far and wide, in the United States and Europe. Mr. Caldwell is a thoroughly accomplished and experienced metallurgist, his theoretical knowledge having been acquired at the great schools of science and art in Berlin, and his practical knowledge having been obtained in the iron-works of Silesia. He has been engaged by the Chattanooga Steel and Iron Works as the chemist of the establishment, and he will make his headquarters there upon the completion of the steel furnace of the company. This change will not, however, deprive the Geological Survey of Kentucky of Mr. Caldwell's valuable sendees. In the Northwestern States they trumpet throughout the world their great resources in wheat-producing lands, and keep them ever before the public by means of pamphlets, newspapers, and circulars. We have in Kentucky more durable and valuable resources than those States, and they can only be developed by letting the world know what they are. Our coal and iron region is immense and exhaustless. The facilities for working it are remarkable. We have only to force the facts relating to their abundance upon the attention of capitalists, and our State will be put forward half a century in progress."
