| Description: |
Salt, a highly valued commodity in ancient and historic times, is an abundant resource in the Kanawha Valley of West Virginia. Salt production along the Kanawha River grew from a small cottage industry to a huge commercial enterprise, exemplifying the Industrial Revolution as it took place in the United States. This video presents a fascinating account of the ingenuity and technological advances accompanying this industrial development from the 18th through the 20th centuries and provides good context for industrial archaeology in the region. |
