Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book documents a study of the fire clays and industries associated therewith in two districts of northeastern Kentucky: the Olive Hill and Ashland districts. Historically significant as the origin of a multi-billion-dollar global industry, their history and development are explore…d in detail. This account includes an array of analyses, tests, and illustrations. The author discusses the origin, classification, chemical properties, and physical properties of fire clays, as well as the economic products other than fire clays included in these districts, such as coal and limestone. The text explores the nature of the ceramics industry in the United States and globally to provide context for the study. The concluding section examines the impact of the fire clay industry on the region, the decline of certain aspects of the industry, and thoughtful speculation on the future of clay mining in the area. This meticulously researched work is an essential resource for scholars interested in the historical dynamics of industry, as well as those studying Kentucky's unique role in shaping global trade of refractories. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
