Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Upon the Mineral Resources of the Illinois Central Railroad: Made at the Request of the President Sir: - At your request I have traversed the greater portion of the country contiguous to the Illinois Central railroad and the Chicago branch, with a view of collecting information with regard to the economic geology of the region. These examinations have been made hastily, at an inclement season of the year, and under circumstances which precluded detailed explorations. In passing over this road, I have been struck with the magnitude of the enterprise; the skill, and rapidity with which it has been constructed; and the variety and extent of the resources which it is destined to develope. Stretching with its main trunk and branches for more than seven hundred miles, through a region of unexampled fertility, and rich in mineral products, with one terminus at Chicago, - already the grain market of the United States, - and the other at Cairo, which, dyked about as it is, must become the key to the traffic of the upper tributaries of the Mississippi, it requires no far-seeing sagacity to appreciate the value of this work, and its importance as a connecting link between the commerce of the two great valleys of North America.

Book The American Coal Industry 1790 1902 Volume I

Download or read book The American Coal Industry 1790 1902 Volume I written by Sean Patrick Adams and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-28 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emergence of coal-based fuel economy over the course of the nineteenth century was one of the most significant features of America’s Industrial Revolution, but the transition from wood to mineral energy sources was a gradual one that transpired over a number of decades. The documents in these volumes recreate the institutional history of the American coal industry in the nineteenth century — providing a first-hand perspective on the developments in regard to political economy, business structure and competition, the rise of formal trade unions, and the creation of a national coal trade. Although the collection strives to be wide-ranging in region and theme, the Pennsylvania anthracite coal trade forms the thematic backbone as it became the most important American mineral resource to see successful development throughout the nineteenth century. Consequently it saw unprecedented levels of intervention by the federal government. The texts for this collection were selected for their accessibility to modern readers as well as their relationship to a series of common themes across the nineteenth century American coal industry — with headnotes and annotations provided to explain their context and the reasons for their inclusion.In this first volume, covering the period 1790-1835, the selected documents seek to reconcile the optimism surrounding the early American coal industry with the difficulties in actually realising its growth. It presents voices that capture the optimism and frustration of the Rhode Island and Virginia colliers, before focusing on the rise of Pennsylvania’s anthracite region — tracing the false-starts and ideological hostility that accompanied the early coal trade.
