It provides a historical account of the many mining companies over the years and their successes and failures. The narrative also explores the various uses of Rhode Island anthracite, both past and present, from household fuel to industrial applications.

The author examines this interest and analyzes its causes in detail, including the complications of its graphite content, its natural compression, and its high ash content.
