Why so much Iron America?

Well, it has to do with the stars, and I'll explaon why. But I'll also spend time going over how American Iron - and most Iron from the Age of Sail until the 20th Century was made - Charcoal Fired Blast Furnaces!

Read enough on iron - and one gets very frustrated with not understanding the common terminology used around it. I've broken it down to the important basics so you can understand it to. Becasue iron will not stop being important to American food - coming 1st - so we can fight wars. Coming 2nd and soon - railroads!

And then refrigeration and then gasoline engines and trucks and metal framed buildings that hold our grocery stores. It's inescapable, so let's take a look at the tech.
