Bituminous Coal Losses and Mining Methods in Pennsylvania (Hardback or Cased Book)

"Bituminous Coal Losses and Mining Methods in Pennsylvania" is a comprehensive technical and historical examination of the coal industry in the early 20th century. Written by James D. Sisler, this study provides a detailed analysis of the extraction processes, efficiency rates, and significant losses encountered during the mining of bituminous coal across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The work serves as a critical record of the industrial practices that shaped one of America's most vital energy sectors.

The text delves into various mining techniques, evaluating their impact on resource recovery and the economic implications of wastage in the field. By documenting the geological conditions and the engineering challenges of the era, Sisler offers invaluable insights into the state of mining science during a period of peak industrial output. This volume is an essential resource for those interested in the history of Pennsylvania, the evolution of energy production, and the environmental and economic hurdles of resource extraction. It captures a pivotal moment in the history of the Appalachian coal region, providing both data-driven analysis and a window into the labor and technology that fueled the nation's growth.
