[TheForge] Searching for an anvil and a kiln

[David E. Smucker]

Like Chuck I remember seeing a photo -- it was on the web somewhere in my 
case -- of a series of railroad hopper cars filled with anvils.  It was one 
of those "sad but true photos".  Lots and lots of metal was recovered for 
the war effort during WWII.  At Tannehill, remains of the civil war blast 
furnace equipment that had sat in the woods untouched  for almost 80 years 
was haul out to be melted down.  (Parts of a large steam powered blowing 
engine.)
