Report on the Halsey Estate Coal and Iron Mines Situate in Sergeant Township McKean County Pennsylvania
Philadelphia: R. Rae & Co 1856. 19 pp in original pink printed wrappers with two folding maps "Map of the Halsey Estate" and "Map Showing the Connections of the McKean Coal Field with the Great Markets of Central and Western New York and Lakes Erie & Ontario" and a profile "Cross Section of the Coal Iron and Limestone Strata upon the Halsey Estate" each of which is hand-colored. Front wrapper has a clean slice from a sharp object rear wrapper has four similar cuts and some small contemporary doodles. Title page--with text identical to that on the front wrapper--is lacking. Good. A rare promotional piece for a resource-rich 5000-acre estate in north central Pennsylvania. The text lauds the land's natural beauty fertile soil abundant timber and even the unsurpassed "purity and salubrity of its air but the primary focus its coal-producing potential and suitability for investment. Many pages are devoted to the reports of various geologists all pointing to the conclusion that "there is no coal field in Pennsylvania more deserving of attention than this one its proximity to the lakes its location above the water and its horizontal position admits of it being mined with the greatest facility and at the most reasonable expense and if the shales and cannel coal in the interior of the basin should confirm the theories of geologists respecting the existence of a large amount of lubricating oils and volatile matter contained in them the value of this coal basin is beyond all computation." A final section focuses on markets for coal and relevant transportation networks and reminds the reader that "where coal is there wealth attends."

PENNSYLVANIA COAL MINING LABOR Culin Stewart
A Trooper's Narrative of Service in the Anthracite Coal Strike 1902
Philadelphia: George W. Jacobs 1902. First Edition. 7.5 x 5 in. 97 pp with three illustrations from photographs in original pictorial cloth. Light scuffing to corners and spine ends pale stain to frontis not affecting illustration previous owners' names on front endpapers. Very good. In 1902 the United States depended on anthracite or "hard coal" for domestic heating. Anthracite coal miners in Pennsylvania went on strike on May 12 demanding higher wages a shorter workday and recognition of their union the United Mine Workers of America. As the strike dragged on over several months public anxiety about fuel shortages led President Roosevelt to take the unprecedented action of stepping in to bring about a resolution. On October 3 1902 he met with presidents of the mine-owning railroads and union leaders. The owners refused to enter into negotiations with the union and the conference disbanded without resolving the crisis. Roosevelt then formed a commission to investigate the strike. Secretary of War Elihu Root and banker J. P. Morgan convinced railroad leaders to abide by the findings of the presidentially appointed commission. The union also accepted the commission and on October 20 voted to end the strike. In March 1903 the anthracite-coal commission recommended increasing miners' pay by ten percent one half of their demand and reducing the working day from ten to nine hours. Stewart Culin was a private in the Second Troop Philadelphia City Cavalry which was sent in August 1902 to maintain peace and order in Carbon County where the strike was centered. He later became an important ethnographer and his considered narrative and analysis of the strike reflects the eye of a keen observer. George W. Jacobs hardcover books
