Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Coal Regions of Pennsylvania, 1848: Being a General, Geological, Historical and Statistical Review of the Anthracite Coal Districts The Coal in the valley of Wyoming was known, and various experiments made to use it, long before any of the adjacent, or other regions in the United States. Had hdan explo re In the years 1775 and '76, several ark loads of Coal were taken down the Suaque hanna river, and hauled to the United States Armory at Carlisle, for the manufacture of fire-arms. This Coal, as we lear'n from the Report of Mr. Packer, was obtained from land belon ing to the late Judge Hollenback, one mile a ove Wilkesbarre, and near the mouth of the mill-stream. The same bed was open ed about twenty years ago, at the place pointed out by the Judge in his life-time, and upon removing the overlaying earth, the marks of tools were plainly perceptible in the Coal seam. In 1768, it is said, this Coal was first used by an ingenias blacksmith, nam ed Obadiah Gore, is settler from Connecticut; and having fully succeeded in applying it to his business. It eoon became the only fuel employed by the blacksmiths in the Valley. It was first used in a grate by Judge Fall, of Wilkesbarre, in the year 1808, who, to use his words, conceived the idea that, if a body of this Coal were ignited, and confined together, it would burn as a fuel; and to try the experiment, he had a grate erected for the purpose, about eight inches in depth, and twenty-two inches long, and the Coal. After being. Ignited in it, burned beyond the most sanguine expectation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A look at the role of state policies in North-South economic divergence and in American industrial development leading up to the Civil War. In 1796, famed engineer and architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe toured the coal fields outside Richmond, Virginia, declaring enthusiastically, “Such a mine of Wealth exists, I believe, nowhere else!” With its abundant and accessible deposits, growing industries, and network of rivers and ports, Virginia stood poised to serve as the center of the young nation’s coal trade. By the middle of the nineteenth century, however, Virginia’s leadership in the American coal industry had completely unraveled while Pennsylvania, at first slow to exploit its vast reserves of anthracite and bituminous coal, had become the country’s leading producer. Sean Patrick Adams compares the political economies of coal in Virginia and Pennsylvania from the late eighteenth century through the Civil War, examining the divergent paths these two states took in developing their ample coal reserves during a critical period of American industrialization. In both cases, Adams finds, state economic policies played a major role. Virginia’s failure to exploit the rich coal fields in the western part of the state can be traced to the legislature’s overriding concern to protect and promote the interests of the agrarian, slaveholding elite of eastern Virginia. Pennsylvania’s more factious legislature enthusiastically embraced a policy of economic growth that resulted in the construction of an extensive transportation network, a statewide geological survey, and support for private investment in its coal fields. Using coal as a barometer of economic change, Old Dominion, Industrial Commonwealth addresses longstanding questions about North-South economic divergence and the role of state government in American industrial development.
