The book is written by James Moore Swank, a prominent historian and geologist who was intimately familiar with the region's industrial history. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the ironmaking industry.

He also discusses the key players in the industry, including ironmasters, laborers, and investors, and their roles in shaping the industry's development. The second part of the book is devoted to the coal mining industry, which was closely intertwined with the ironmaking industry. Swank provides a comprehensive overview of the geology of the region, the different types of coal deposits, and the technological advancements that made coal mining possible. He also discusses the social and economic impact of the industry, including the growth of towns and cities around coal mines and the exploitation of laborers. Throughout the book, Swank draws on a wide range of primary sources, including government reports, industry publications, and personal accounts, to provide a rich and nuanced portrayal of the ironmaking and coal mining industries in Pennsylvania.
