This study illuminates the formation of a vital, new idiom of 'energy' and 'economy' in America's industrial heartland in the nineteenth century. Ackerman's vivid account of mythmaking and material production will interest anyone who cares about intellectual, cultural, and economic history, fossil fuels and the rise of ecological thought.
