First Anthracite Coal
The first anthracite coal was mined near here on the land of E.B. Alston by a
Mr. Walker in 1840. Samples of coal were taken to Little Rock and examined by
William E. Woodruff, who pronounced it superior to that found in Pennsylvania.
Mr. Walker went east to get men who were skilled in mining. In 1841, $150,000
worth of coal was ready for
shipment by boat. |
