The author explores how firewood shortages impacted individuals living in the cities of Boston, Massachusetts, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and New York City. Poor individuals living in these cities were impacted more severely by sudden increases in the price of firewood due to supply shortages. The author examines the efforts of several organizations that attempted to combat fuel shortages by urging U.S. citizens to adopt coal as a heating source. The author discusses how the fuel market provided information on the consumption patterns of Americans and also exposed class differences in the country. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: © 2019 Organization of American Historians. item: Journal of American History holder: Oxford University Press / USA dt: @attributes: year: 2008 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
