Read the following excerpt, taken from "Life in the iron mills", By Rebecca Harding Davis: 
"A cloudy day: do you know what that is in a town of iron-works? The sky sank down before dawn, 
muddy, flat, immovable. The air is thick, clammy with the breath of crowded human beings. It stifles 
me. I open the window, and, looking out, can scarcely see through the rain the grocer's shop opposite, 
where a crowd of drunken Irishmen are puffing Lynchburg tobacco in their pipes. I can detect the 
scent through all the foul smells ranging loose in the air".
