It provides a historical account of the many mining companies over the years and their successes and failures. The narrative also explores the various uses of Rhode Island anthracite, both past and present, from household fuel to industrial applications. Despite being the last deposits of anthracite discovered in the world, Rhode Island's supply has long held economic and practical interest. The author examines this interest and analyzes its causes in detail, including the complications of its graphite content, its natural compression, and its high ash content. Though it is a coal source that is challenging to refine, this book illuminates the vibrant history and continued viability of Rhode Island anthracite. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
