(Want more Shogun? - jump over here to Prizefighters, Circus Freaks & Gangsters - shortcut: PCG)
This week it’s glass - a history.
We talk sand (SAND!) fire, volcanos and sharp things. Minerals, amorphous materials and how glass is a solid and not even a little a liquid.
What was glass before it was windows - or even see through? And how badly did the early Americans want glass? Bad enough that they lured European glass makers here - with the promise of plenty of fuel, plenty of sand (SAND!) and an apparently forever growing market. Along with slightly less hard work with the promise of mechanization.
So stand back, but look on at the shiny hot stuff and learn some facts about the history of glass.
