- W2286929468 abstract "WHEN the Civil War broke out in 1861, Pittsburgh and the surrounding are had long been famous as a center of in dustry and a focal point in the nation's transportation system. The rivers were relatively more important than now in carrying both freight and passengers. Highways and canals linked these natural waterways into a network with Pittsburgh at its center, so that ready access to the whole northwest was possible. The railroads were already an important part of this transportation system, and extended from the city in every direction. Along these channels passed the raw materials and finished products of the industrial metropolis of the west, drawing to itself the natural resources of its well-endowed hinterland and sending forth the tools and machines, the vehicles and other products, needed to extend our rapidly-advancing mechanical civilization to the Rockies. This was the age of the steamboat and barge, and while their facilities would not measure up to the demands of the present they were equal to those of any other population center west of the mountains. When compared to present-day standards, the industry of western Pennsylvania was not so well developed as the transportation sys tem. It must be remembered that the industrial resources during the Civil War period were entirely different from the great manufactur ing establishments which are a part of the regular life of every urban community in the country today. Eighty years ago the machine was just coming into its own?it had not yet reached maturity. During the 1850's, Pennsylvania, the largest producer of coal in the Union, could deliver only about 1,000,000 tons per year as compared with the peak of 171,600,000 tons during World War I. The nation's entire output of iron and steel in 1860 was only about 800,000 tons," @default.
