Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book follows the American coal industry from the first mines opened in the 1820s to the late 1870s. It explores the economic, geographical, and political factors that affected the growth of this industry, the largest in the United States at the time. Due to the increase in population and the rise of industries such as iron and steel manufacturing, a domestic coal supply was in high demand. Notably, this book details the development of transportation networks that allowed the large-scale movement of coal from mines to consumers. The author draws on historical documents, industry reports, and newspapers to provide a comprehensive view of the coal industry. This book delves into topics such as coal production, labor relations, safety concerns, and the impact of the industry on the environment and local communities.
