The America of today is built on iron and steel, the great mills of the American interior supplying not only the needs of a growing nation but the implements for securing freedom around the world. The first European colonists used dirty bog iron to hammer out the basic tools of life long before their descendants built the great American industries. In this video we explore Americas first iron industry, the furnaces and forges of New Jersey’s Pine Barrens.
