Book excerpt: Excerpt from Publications of the University of Pennsylvania Series in Political Economy and Public: Law No; 22, the Economic History of the Anthracite-Tidewater Canals The second or middle coal field was the last to receive attention. A railroad to give an outlet to this region was projected in 1826. Stephen Girard was one of those chiefly interested in it and subscribed to its stock. It was to connect Pottsville, on the Schuylkill Navigation, with the Susquehanna, at Danville and the Pennsylvania canal basin at Sunbury. Even as late as 1834, however, this region was practically untouched, especially in the western part. On the east the Lehigh Navigation furnished an outlet, but through its high charges it was claimed was definitely trying to stop the development of the resources there.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All but forgotten except as a part of nostalgic lore, American canals during the first half of the nineteenth century provided a transportation network that was vital to the development of the new nation. They lowered transportation costs, carried a vast grain trade from western farms to eastern ports, delivered Pennsylvania coal to New York, and carried thousands of passengers at what seemed effortless speed. Along their courses sprang up new towns and cities and with them new economic growth. Canals for a Nation brings together in one volume a survey of all the major American canals. Here are accounts of innovative engineering, of near heroic figures who devoted their lives to canals, and of canal projects that triumphed over all the uncertainties of the political process.

This book was released on 2018-03-26 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1989 this study examines some new facets in the development of the iron industry in the USA between 1839 and 1921 through the study of an individaul form, namely the Thoms Iron Company, one of the leading merchant furnace companies. It charts the end of the anthracite iron age and the changes which brought about the advent of open-hearth steel and integrated steel works. The book discusses the problems the managers of the firm faced with the appearance of industrial innovations which tended to undermine their firm's very existence and provided a new set of optimal conditions necessary for the survival of the firm. It provides a clear understanding of the destructive forces of industrial innovation and the place of creative entrepreneurship in the survival of the firm.
