To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No general comprehensive history of this industry has ever been ptiblished ; it is kept alive l)y fragments of history, fugitive literary pieces, tradition, that is about all. Yet it was not only imi)ortant commercially, but historically valuable and pic- turesque from a social and literary viewpoint. These feudal lords, the Ironmasters, were the hig men of their day, the Schwabs, Donners and Replogles of an earher generation, yet how few of their names remain. It was timely to mark this old fu...rnace, to save it from oblivion l)y reviewing its history and to inspire other communities to do likewise. Some are of unknown locations, and their names only remain on ])its of old stove plates. There is a rich field of research for the anticjuarian and writer, just to con- fine himself to the history of this charcoal iron industry. Perhaps the great American novel, the great Pennsylvania novel at any rate, will be a story laid al)OUt one of the baronial estates of the old Ironmasters. Was ever a more delightful, _ or perennially interesting book written than Georges Ohnet's novel, "Le Maitre des Forges", translated into English as "The Iron- master"?
