Coal changed and created industries, altered the way Londoners cooked and what they ate, the way they cleaned, and the way their decorated their homes. Getting coal to the city required improvement to roads and ports. As the price of coal went down, the price of wood rose and the latter became a status symbol in finer London homes. With central heating, the size of the average home grew larger. They were well aware of coal's properties coal was used by the Romans in ancient times and in nearby communities, it was a "fuel of choice." Even the Welsh were pleased with the heat that coal gave off – but for Londoners, using it meant a learning curve and a need for new equipment and alterations to older British homes.īurning coal, says Goodman, allowed houses to be outfitted with a single furnace that heated the whole house, rather than a fireplace or hearth that heated one room.
Town councils appointed caretakers to manage and conserve woodlands and hedges, but those efforts didn't solve any cold-weather problems. The change started as it began to dawn on sixteenth-century Londoners that wood sources might someday disappear. By a mere half-century later, however, as Elizabeth lay dying, England had strongly embraced coal. Wood, in fact, was the main heating-and-cooking fuel in Queen Elizabeth's day, though other organic materials were burned in a pinch when wood was scarce.
Long before history was recorded, many of our ancestors kept warm with fires made of dried grass or dung, but probably, mostly, wood. Or, as in "The Domestic Revolution" by Ruth Goodman, do you need a nice, warm fire? How can you be sure you'll ever feel your toes again? Your mom used to tell you to "put on a sweater" when you were cold but that's not helping your feet. “The Domestic Revolution: How the Introduction of Coal into Victorian Homes Changed Everything”Ĭan you wear two pairs of stockings at the same time? That's a question some may ask this winter when the wind howls and the snow flies. So look for "The Greatest Beer Run Ever". It's perfect for anyone over 60, especially veterans, who will absolutely understand every word. Not surprisingly, this tale of friendship and duty also oozes warmth despite its tense setting.
Still, there's a classic sense of innocent adventure that wafts through this book, somewhat like a 1950s Boy Scout magazine, but with steel pots and grenade launchers. Readers who know their history will see that: there's danger in this true tale, and it's authentically told. Just don't expect some sort of silly, though, because authors John "Chick" Donohue and J.T.

Chrome stools with cracked red vinyl seats. You can see it in your mind's eye: a wooden bar, worn shiny by countless ice-filled glasses. Instead, returning to the dock, he found trouble: his ship, his only ride home, had left port without him. But after a night in the trenches, Donohue had to split: he was four days into his three-day pass, and he had buddies yet to find. The second guy, Good-Samaritan-like, happened to pick Donohue up on a dirt road heading north toward the DMZ, which is where the third guy was. That day, he was "on the beach" (between jobs) when the Colonel made his declaration, and Donohue knew he had "the right ID papers." He said he'd do it and by the next morning, it was too late to take back those words.Įight weeks later, after having snagged a position on a warship that took him just northeast of Saigon, Donohue fibbed to the ship's captain, got a 3-day pass, and headed into the jungle to locate his childhood buddies – the first of which, coincidentally, he found within minutes of disembarking. Years before, Donohue served in Japan with the Marines, and was working as a merchant seaman then.
