OT: I'm reading "The Day Lincoln Was Shot", which occurred the evening of April 14, 1865. They are using natural gas for lighting on the streets of Washington and in Ford's Theatre. The author does not diverge and discuss gas and its supply by a municipal utility in Washington, but does anyone know when and how gas came to be supplied? Was it being piped down from Drake's (1859) discovery area in Western Pennsylvania or had coal gas been discovered and developed in the Appalachia mountains in the ensuing six years?
