Do you know the history of iron/steel manufacturing?
I'm a bit of a McKinley buff. So I'm especially familiar with westPA/eastOhio development, pig iron, etc. which is of course where your Maramec folks originated.
quote:They were out in the middle of nowhere. They found a spring near iron deposits, along with an ample timber supply, and went to work building the furnace. They used the best resources they had at hand. They mined with a pick and shovel as well. 16th century style? Maybe so. They also used wagons akin to those of the Egyptians, and knives similar to the Babylonians. They often lived, at least initially, in hovels not too dissimilar from the Druids. They built a rock and earth dam to raise the water level in the spring pool to provide water for the tail races as the Romans might have.
they were using charcoal, not coal, or coke
It's also so confusing.

apparently so,
nice google work by the way,
but if you read the actual history book, it's not that simple
then there is also the engraving of the blacksmiths, interesting attire
then the statements from the county surveyor,
good thing those indians told the guy where to build a forge
also interesting history of the guy who founded it, and his daughter, and the foundation formed from it, and where he got his money
all of which have no flaws it the story...
