Beyond the boundaries : life and landscape at the Lake Superior copper mines, 1840-1875 /
This is a social history of the families of the Keweenaw Peninsula area of Upper Michigan, from 1840 to 1875 when the district's main industry was copper mining. It is the story of these "reluctant pioneers", who survived in what was, in many ways, a hostile environment.
