Ka Moʻolelo o ke Kāla Wai
ʻO ka Pitalbull Coal Seam,ʻo ia hoʻi ka kohu nui loa mai ka District District o Connellsville,ʻo ia ka coal maikaʻi loa ma ka'āina no ka hanaʻana i ka coke, ke kumukūʻai nui no nā kapuahi hao. ʻO ka hoʻohana muaʻana o ka coke i loko o ke kapuahi hao i Fayette County, Pennsylvania, i ka makahiki 1817. I ka waena o ka makahiki 1830 i ka hoʻokomoʻiaʻana o nā umu coke o ka pipi, i kapaʻia no ko lākouʻano hoʻomeheu, ua hoʻonui houʻia ka hoʻohanaʻana i ka lanahu a Pittsburgh-seam.
I ka hapalua o ka makahikiʻumikumamāiwa, ua nui ka manaʻo o ke ala kila, i uluʻia e ka uluhua'ōhū o kaʻoihana hana kaʻa. ʻO ka helu o nā umu wehi i ka Pittsburgh seam mawaena o 1870 a 1905 mai kaʻumi 200 a hiki i ka 31,000 no ka paneʻana i ka piʻiʻana o kaʻoihana hao a me ke kila; ua piʻi lākou i 1910 ma kahi o 48,000. ʻO ka hanaʻana o nā kohu pāla ma nā Pitimburgh ke kahu lanahu i hoʻonuiʻia i ka 4,3 miliona kelani o ka lanahu i ka makahiki 1880 a hiki i ka huina o 40 miliona toni i ka makahiki 1916.
Ua hoʻolimalimaʻia ma kahi o nā'enela he 10 biona o ka coal bilanū ma nā kalana 21 Pennsylvania (ʻo nā kalana o nā komohana) i nā makahiki he 200+ i hala. ʻO ka hapahā kēia o nā lanahu a pau i hanaʻia ma United States.

ʻO ka HuiʻOihana Hui Kālāʻo Pīpīpule
Keʻikeʻole nei au i kaʻu :ʻO kēia hana hanaʻana i ka minamina a me ka mea e hele nei i ka hale. ʻO ka Seldom Seen Mine e noho nei ma Cambria County, Pennsylvania, kahi māhele o ke ala e holomua ai i ka heleʻana o ka hoʻokele'āina.
ʻO ka heleʻana i kahi kula ma kēia Tarentum mine kahi i hoʻolakoʻia ai nā mea minamina e hōʻikeʻike ana i nāʻano meaʻoihana mining e hāʻawi ai i nā malihini i ka noʻonoʻo i keʻano o ia mea a me keʻano o ka hanaʻana i loko o kaʻehu ahi.
Ka Hale Hōʻikeʻikeʻo Windber Coal: Eʻike i kahi hōʻailona o nā mea minamina aʻike i keʻano o ka "Black Gold" o Pennsylvania i hoʻokumu i ka nohoʻana o nā poʻe noho. ʻO ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike o ka Hale Hōkūʻo Bobber kahi wale nō hale hōʻikeʻike hoʻokipa ma ka hikina o US i hoʻolaʻaʻia no ka haʻiʻana i ka moʻolelo o nā ola o nā poʻe minamina a me ko lākou mauʻohana.
