Excerpt from Introduction to a History of Ironmaking and Coal Mining in Pennsylvania: Contributed to the Final Report of the Pennsylvania Board of Centennial Managers I have been greatly aided by the polite 'and sympathetic attention of the gentlemen in charge of the library of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, who have afforded me every desired facility for the examination of historical data contained in colonial records, old maps, local histories, and biographical sketches.

The Juniata pig iron and blooms were hauled over the Allegheny mountains to Johnstown, usually on sleds in the winter season, and taken down the Conemaugh, Kiskiminetas, and Allegheny rivers to Pittsburgh with the spring and fall freshets. In 1829 Pittsburgh had eight rolling-mills, using 6,000 tons of blooms, chiefly from the Juniata valley, and 1,500 tons of pig metal. In the same year there were nine foundries that consumed 3,500 tons of metal. In 1828 the iron rolled was 3,291 tons; in 1829 it was 6,217 tons; and in 1830 it was 9,282 tons.

In 1856 there were in Pittsburgh and Allegheny county twenty-five rolling-mills and thirty-three foundries.

The ores used at Pittsburgh are mainly obtained from the Lake Superior mines, but those of...

The Anthracite Heritage Museum focuses on the people, labour, and culture of coal mining and related industries in eastern Pennsylvania. The museum displays objects and images of the everyday life of coal miners and their families, including exhibits of household furnishings, religious artefacts, and work implements and machinery. Nearby Scranton Iron Furnaces, four stone blast furnace stacks built between 1848 and 1857 for the Lackawanna Iron and Steel Company, commemorate an industry that relied heavily on anthracite fuel and expanded as a result of it. Includes a tour of the museum and the furnaces.
