David Owen published maps showing the Kentucky coal fields in 1852 and 1853 and they may have been the source of the information. The Kentucky coal fields were considered a strategic asset by the North in the Civil War. Coal mining in these areas began in earnest in the 1870's with the expansion of the railroads. This copy is folded into plain dark brown cloth covers 15x10, without the Colton imprint found in our other copy. Full color by county.
