Before 1840 the American iron industry consisted in the main of small furnaces obliged by their need of the charcoal they used for fuel to locate in areas of heavy forest. Around these isolated furnaces grew communities of workers and their families, and of the farmers and service people who supplied their needs. In hundreds of forest clearings there could be found rural industrial settlements as distinctive in form and as important in product as the New England town or the Southern plantation. Hopewell Village tells the story of one such community, which, from 1771 to 1883, made iron in Southern Berks County, Pennsylvania. What little has been written about the iron villages has concentrated largely on the techniques of furnace operation. This book is concerned with the lives of the people of the iron plantations, from the wealthy ironmaster to the youngest indentured servant, and how they interacted with each other and with the outside world in work, religion, education, and play. Special attention has been given to the lives of minorities. While every part of the book is documented for the scholar-reader, the style of writing is plain enough to be read with meaning by those who have little background in the techniques either of the iron industry or historiography. Containing much original source material, tables, tabulations and numerous photographs, Hopewell Village should be of interest to students of industrial history, transportation, labor relations, and race relations, as well as to the general reader of American history.

Excerpt from Hopewell Village National Historic Site, Pennsylvania The community life was in some respects similar to that of the small feudal manors of medieval Europe and was largely self-sustaining. This condition prevailed at Hopewell, little changed, beyond the colo nial period, through most of the nineteenth century. The furnace was closed down permanently in 1883, after 113 years of activity. The quiet of abandonment gradually settled over the place, and it became a ghost community of another era. Even though abandoned, except for limited farm purposes, the quaint little group of early industrial structures and the surrounding picturesque houses were preserved because of the iso lated nature of the site in the hills back of the Schuylkill River. The restless hand of modern progress scarcely reached this little vale in the lovely forest-covered hills. Hopewell Village tells the story not of a single historical event, but rather of a broad sweep of American growth and productive effort. This story - from the first attempt at iron making in the New World, through the days of '76 when an already thriving industry was able to play its part for independence, down to recent times - is an inseparable part of the American saga.
