Making Iron on the Bald Eagle: Roland Curtin's Ironworks and Workers' Community - Paperback
by Gerald G. Eggert (Author)
The long history of the Curtin family's Eagle Ironworks mirrors both the rise and the long decline of American charcoal-iron production. Eggert's story begins with Curtin's arrival in the Bald Eagle Valley in 1797, from the time he constructed his first forge on the bank of Bald Eagle Creek, until the final closing of the Eagle Ironworks in 1922.
