"Coal mining began in Pennsylvania in the mid-1700s to support the colonial iron industry. By the 1800s, Pennsylvania coal was fueling the industrial growth of the entire country and was the primary fuel source for western Pennsylvania’s growing steel industry. Anthracite and bituminous coal production peaked in 1918 with a combined production of 276 million tons. Coal’s importance continued well into the twentieth century as it provided the energy to fight both World Wars." from dep.pa.gov/Business/Land/Mining Prince Edward Island Herzog Collection
