John Pearce is joined by Martha Capwell Fox, archivist and historian for the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor, for a broad view of the worldwide Industrial Revolution and a closer look at its role in the greater Lehigh Valley region.
Martha explains why she doesn't always agree with the thumbnail views of the Industrial Revolution. Plus, a look at how anthracite coal brought innovation to the state and the men that made it possible.
