Anthracite coal, or hard coal, was first discovered and used by Native Americans and settlers in Northeastern Pennsylvania (Wyoming Valley) in the late 1790s. The anthracite coal fields are separated into three regions: the Wyoming field in the North surrounding Scranton and Wilkes-Barre, the Lehigh field surrounding the city of Hazleton, and the Schuylkill where Pottsville is located. The coal industry in these fields started slowly due few coal markets and poor transportation routes. But on February 11, 1808, Luzerne County Judge Jesse Fell successfully demonstrated the use of burning anthracite coal for domestic purposes at his tavern in Wilkes-Barre. Manuscript Group 109 3 Gradually, however, anthracite coal gained a market for use as a home-heating source due to its high efficiency and clean burning qualities. Also, with the building of canals and improved water ways, transporting anthracite coal to markets in Philadelphia and New York City became cheaper.

  • Death of the Huber Breaker: Loss of an Iconic Anthracite Feature Bode J
    Death of the Huber Breaker: Loss of an iconic Anthracite feature Bode J. Morin Abstract: The Huber Breaker was one of the last and largest Anthracite coal breakers in North East Pennsylvania (USA). Built in 1939, its function was to wash, break, size, and distribute coal from several linked collieries. It operated until 1976. The Huber was one of the most sophisticated of what had been hundreds of similar structures developed over the preceding century to process the region’s particular type of hard coal. An iconic structure, it did not last to see the fall of 2014 when the Huber and its accompanying support structures were demolished for their scrap value. While sitting idle for nearly 40 years, several attempts were made to stabilize and preserve the site as a museum and monument to the hundreds of thousands of people who worked in and around the coal mines. Despite hopes, community support, and a strong local preservation organization, the breaker could not be saved. Many factors affected the final fate of the site including a poor regional economy mired in a decades-long deindustrialization process, the challenges of bankruptcy proceedings for two of the companies that would come to own the site, the challenges of attempting to preserve such a large and complex structure with high liability, and social and cultural factors stemming from poor economic conditions and broad distrust of corporate and state organizations. While many industrial sites are lost following their useful period, many others are saved either as monuments or with a new function all the while serving as a physical reminder of the recent history of the region.

  • Pennsylvania Magazine of HISTORY and BIOGRAPHY
    THE Pennsylvania Magazine OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY The Social Order of the Anthracite Region, 1825-1902 HE place of the Pennsylvania anthracite region in American history has been fixed for nearly a century. The Molly TMaguire conspiracy, the miners' strikes of the i87o's and 1902, the Lattimer massacre, a railroad president who believed him- self one of "the Christian men to whom God in His infinite wisdom has given control of the property interests of the country/1 and, looming behind all these, the anthracite coal trust have become stock types of nineteenth-century capitalistic oppression and labor re- sistance. A region of company towns and stores, child labor and mine disasters, starvation wages and squalor, race wars between successive waves of immigrants; they are all familiar enough. From the perspective of the mid-twentieth century, however, things that were not present in the society of the anthracite region appear no less significant than things that were. Instead of a simple melodrama of ruthless bosses and embattled workingmen, the story is one of groups, classes, institutions, and individuals so equivocally related as to be mutually unintelligible and quite heedless of each other. The region had plenty of groups, classes, institutions, and notable personages, to be sure, but it is hard to find among them 261 262 ROWLAND BERTHOFF July any functional design of reciprocal rights and duties, the nuts and bolts which pin together a stable social order. Geology was partly to blame. The anthracite region is an irregular area or discontinuous series of areas broken by mountain ridges and coalless farming valleys, altogether some four hundred square miles scattered over eight counties, reaching from a wide southern base north of the Blue Mountain, between the Susquehanna and Lehigh rivers, nearly a hundred miles northeastward along the broad Wyoming and narrow Lackawanna valleys.
