Today, between the founding of this project in Oct, 2016 and the present June, 2018; the An Age of Steam, Steel and Iron page has received nearly seven hundred page views which to be perfectly honest was a lot more then I ever expected when I began this. The relative wide selection of countries the page views originated from has also been both surprising to me and interesting.
I again want to thank those people who have expressed an interest in my page, and hope the project will continue forward circumstances permitting. My writing time or rather my posting time is sometimes curtailed by commitments to family, work and other personal projects but I hope to reach 100 story or related posts within the next few months and perhaps reach the benchmark of one thousand page views for the An Age of Steam, Steel and Iron Blog before the end of the 2018.

It is the year 1889 A.D., an age of enlightened discovery, of unrivaled and often fantastic scientific and technological progress: powered by coal, steam and electricity. It is also an age of empires and empire building, of fierce and often complex competition for wealth and material resources by both governments, corporations and private individuals. The Nations of Europe, the Americas, Africa and Asia vie for power, prestige and prosperity on the world stage and across the solar system.
