Excerpt from Great American Industries, Vol. 1: Coal, Petroleum, Iron, Marble, Slate, Gold and Silver, Copper and Zinc While wood was plenty and but little coal needed, this answered all purposes; but when nearly all the wood had been cut off and more coal was needed every day, people began to wonder where it was to come from. They never dreamed that in the ground, and possibly under their own houses, was so great a supply that it would take hundreds of years to use it all, even if it were used for every purpose for which heat is needed.
