The Financial Base of the Nation,
By Eric McKeever (Lutherville, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Anthracite Trust (Paperback)
The mining of anthracite (hard) coal was the foundation and framework of the industrial base of this nation. It would come as no surprise to find it was the financial, banking, and business base as well. Author Freeman does a masterful job of showing how this process developed from the founding of the colonies up to the present day. There is much of value here for the scholar and researcher of coal region, or business history. The book is easy to read, the story moves right along. While a reference work, there is nothing dry and dusty about this one. Many large corporate names grew from coal money. Freeman documents the origin and development of some of the best known of these. A fascinating read, highly recommended. Eric McKeever
