Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a captivating and comprehensive look at the history and development of the copper mining industry in Michigan. It covers the period from the first exploration and discovery of copper deposits in the state, through to the beginning of the 20th century. The author, a keen observer of the industry, delves into the complex geology of the region, explaining the formation of copper-bearing rocks and how they were mined. He traces the evolution of mining techniques and the rise of major mining companies, including the iconic Calumet & Hecla. This book is more than a simple industry chronicle, however. It explores the social and economic impacts of mining on the region, discussing the struggles for ownership and control of land, the development of infrastructure, and the rise of mining towns. It also analyzes the political landscape surrounding the mining industry and the debates about taxation, including the controversial ââ Å"specific taxââ  on copper production. The author's insightful commentary and meticulous research make this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American mining, the development of the Great Lakes region, or the story of a critical industry in the nationââ â¢s growth.
