Abstract "This book tells the story of the rise and decline of Old King Coal as the dominant source of energy and power in the United States from roughly the late eighteenth century to World War II. More broadly put, it is a book about the various energy transitions during these years, but the emphasis is on coal as a source of fuel and power"-- Provided by publisher.
