The historical significance of Friedrich List -- The American exile of Friedrich List from 1825 to 1832 -- Unspoiled wilderness and rugged nature in the Blue Mountain range of Pennsylvania in the first half of the 19th Century -- The extensive extermination of the Indians by white settlers and Friedrich List's stance -- The growing importance of coal in the course of early industrialization -- The emergence of anthracite coal, its rise and fall -- Friedrich List's discovery of a coal deposit in Pennsylvania -- The construction of the Little Schuylkill Railroad -- The acknowledgment of List's achievements in the construction of the Little Schuylkill Railroad by Dr. Isaac Hiester -- Tamaqua and Port Clinton - the two endpoints of the Little Schuylkill Railroad -- The first positive effects of the Little Schuylkill Railroad -- Appendix: Dr. Karl (Charles) Neidhard (1809-1895), step-son of Friedrich List - a pioneer of homeopathy in the USA.

This book provides an impressive account of the pioneering technical achievements of the German economic theorist Friedrich List (1789-1846) during his exile in the USA. With the project planning and construction of the Little Schuylkill Railroad in Pennsylvania, List contributed significantly to the development of the coal deposits there and thus to the development of heavy industry in the USA. The exciting history of the founding of the railroad and List's involvement is illustrated by many photographic documents. The content - The American exile of Friedrich List (1825-1832) - Friedrich List and the indigenous American population - The importance of coal for the early industrialization - List's railway project - the obstacles and first successes.
