Introduction To A History Of Ironmaking And Coal Mining In Pennsylvania (1878) is a comprehensive historical account of the ironmaking and coal mining industries in Pennsylvania during the 18th and 19th centuries. The book is written by James Moore Swank, a prominent historian and geologist who was intimately familiar with the region's industrial history. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the ironmaking industry. Swank provides a detailed overview of the technological advancements that made iron production possible, as well as the economic and social factors that contributed to the growth of the industry in Pennsylvania. He also discusses the key players in the industry, including ironmasters, laborers, and investors, and their roles in shaping the industry's development. The second part of the book is devoted to the coal mining industry, which was closely intertwined with the ironmaking industry. Swank provides a comprehensive overview of the geology of the region, the different types of coal deposits, and the technological advancements that made coal mining possible. He also discusses the social and economic impact of the industry, including the growth of towns and cities around coal mines and the exploitation of laborers. Throughout the book, Swank draws on a wide range of primary sources, including government reports, industry publications, and personal accounts, to provide a rich and nuanced portrayal of the ironmaking and coal mining industries in Pennsylvania. The book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of American industry, as well as for those interested in the social and economic history of Pennsylvania.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

James Moore Swank (1832-1914) was a US expert on iron and steel, and wrote widely about the industry. In 1873 he became secretary of the American Iron and Steel Association. This second edition (1892) of his influential book on iron manufacture was significantly expanded compared to the 1884 original, with 132 more pages, 15 extra chapters, and revisions throughout the text. Swank aimed to move away from the highly technical approach and European focus that had dominated previous works. Instead, he would emphasise names, dates, facts and results, and give special attention to the growth of the industry in the United States while providing an international context. He includes every country and US state that produced iron. The book is organised chronologically, and provides a fascinating account of the manufacture of iron from the ancient Egyptian period through early modern Britain to late nineteenth-century America.
