How did foreign iron ores reshape industrial might in the age of steam and steel? Data comes vividly to life. In A Bird’S-Eye View Of The Production And Characteristics Of Imports Of Foreign Iron Ores In Recent Years, James Moore Swank distils years of observation into a precise iron ore trade report that captures a pivotal moment in the 19th century iron industry. Through clear analysis of production trends, foreign iron ore imports and mineral resources statistics, he traces how global deposits fed the rapidly expanding iron and steel industry, and how patterns of supply, quality and cost influenced the economic history of trade in the industrial revolution era trade.Written by one of the foremost chroniclers of the history of iron manufacture, this concise industrial history study functions both as an economic history monograph and as a practical guide for industry researchers, policymakers and historians seeking a dependable historical reference edition of primary data and insight. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it is restored for today’s and future generations, more than a reprint - a collector’s item and a cultural treasure for casual readers of economic and industrial history as well as serious scholars and classic-literature collectors.
