Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning the years 1840-1875, Beyond the Boundaries focuses on the settlement of Upper Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula, telling the story of reluctant pioneers who attempted to establish a decent measure of comfort, control, and security in what was in many ways a hostile environment. Moving beyond the technological history of the period found in his previous book Cradle to the Grave: Life, Work, and Death at the Lake Superior Copper Mines (OUP 1991), Lankton here focuses on the people of this region and how the copper mining affected their daily lives. A truly first-rate social history, Beyond the Boundaries will appeal to historians of the frontier and of Michigan and the Great Lakes region, as well as historians of technology, labor, and everyday life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the nineteenth century, the Keweenaw Peninsula of Northern Michigan was the site of America’s first mineral land rush as companies hastened to profit from the region’s vast copper deposits. In order to lure workers to such a remote location—and work long hours in dangerous conditions—companies offered not just competitive wages but also helped provide the very infrastructure of town life in the form of affordable housing, schools, health-care facilities, and churches. The first working-class history of domestic life in Copper Country company towns during the boom years of 1890 to 1918, Alison K. Hoagland’sMine Townsinvestigates how the architecture of a company town revealed the paternal relationship that existed between company managers and workers—a relationship that both parties turned to their own advantage. The story of Joseph and Antonia Putrich, immigrants from Croatia, punctuates and illustrates the realities of life in a booming company town. While company managers provided housing as a way to develop and control a stable workforce, workers often rejected this domestic ideal and used homes as an economic resource, taking in boarders to help generate further income. Focusing on how the exchange between company managers and a largely immigrant workforce took the form of negotiation rather than a top-down system, Hoagland examines surviving buildings and uses Copper Country’s built environment to map this remarkable connection between a company and its workers at the height of Michigan’s largest land rush.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the bestselling and award-winning author of The Sparrow comes an inspiring historical novel about “America’s Joan of Arc” Annie Clements—the courageous woman who started a rebellion by leading a strike against the largest copper mining company in the world. In July 1913, twenty-five-year-old Annie Clements had seen enough of the world to know that it was unfair. She’s spent her whole life in the copper-mining town of Calumet, Michigan where men risk their lives for meager salaries—and had barely enough to put food on the table and clothes on their backs. The women labor in the houses of the elite, and send their husbands and sons deep underground each day, dreading the fateful call of the company man telling them their loved ones aren’t coming home. When Annie decides to stand up for herself, and the entire town of Calumet, nearly everyone believes she may have taken on more than she is prepared to handle. In Annie’s hands lie the miners’ fortunes and their health, her husband’s wrath over her growing independence, and her own reputation as she faces the threat of prison and discovers a forbidden love. On her fierce quest for justice, Annie will discover just how much she is willing to sacrifice for her own independence and the families of Calumet. From one of the most versatile writers in contemporary fiction, this novel is an authentic and moving historical portrait of the lives of the men and women of the early 20th century labor movement, and of a turbulent, violent political landscape that may feel startlingly relevant to today.

Book excerpt: Abstract : This dissertation examines the extractive landscape and persistent lifespan of native mass copper mining in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The historic native copper mining industry of Michigan lasted for over a century, though its impacts on the landscape can be broken into two distinct, though overlapping, phases of extractive practice: mass mining and disseminated lode mining. Each mined specific native copper deposits, utilized related but specialized technologies, and relied upon different sources of energy to power its practices. A first, formative phase of mass mining exploited fissures of pure metallic copper using traditional technology and organic sources of fuel. A second phase of disseminated lode mining persisted longer and produced more copper than mass mining using industrial-scale technologies powered by fossil fuel. Lode mining eclipsed then replaced mass mining, though in some cases the practices of lode mining were transferred to mass mining locations in an attempt to prolong their extractive lifespans. This dissertation uses the Cliff mine, the most successful and influential of the formative period's mass copper mines, as a case study in three interrelated papers to explore the lifespan of these unique extractive landscapes: first as a formative landscape, then as a landscape reborn thanks to the technological changes linked to lode mining, and finally as a site for the interpretation of industrial waste residues. The first chapter adopts a concept of workscape to illuminate the unique activities associated with the extraction of mass native copper in Michigan's Keweenaw peninsula, 1845-c.1880. These activities mark the formative stage of what would become the Lake copper district. Mass mining workscapes were the earliest manifestations of potential for the Keweenaw, and they set the stage for lode mining's long and fruitful success. Deciphering these early workscapes relies on the use of two dimensional maps of the period to recreate not only the envisioned potential for the Keweenaw, but how those visions were enacted upon the landscape. The second chapter focuses on twentieth century activities at the Cliff mine to expand the notion of the mining district's lifespan by focusing on the certain, but not sudden, decline and closure of the mine. The chapter concludes that the Cliff's extractive history was not confined to a few decades of financially significant activity in the mid-nineteenth century, but rather that extraction continued on through the twentieth and even into the twenty-first centuries. The methods and intents of that extraction changed over time, but its continued use meant the Cliff mine site endures as a living landscape. The third chapter details a survey of over 350 separate sites of native copper mining waste in Michigan's Copper Country. This work resulted in the development of a classification and scoring rubric designed to identify waste sites of greatest historical significance, authenticity, and integrity. This chapter provides an overview of the survey and its findings, then uses the collective waste of the Cliff mine as a narrative device in the telling of its extractive history. These findings offer insight into understanding and appreciating the residues of extractive practice that in this case, due to the benign nature of the unalloyed copper mined there, pose a lesser threat to the environment compared with most hard rock mining activities.
