Description

The Keweenaw Peninsula of northern Michigan is the one place on the earth where quite a lot of copper are found within the pure metallic “native” state. The Making of a Mining District is the first book to completely document how the value of these unique deposits came to be recognized, from the time Europeans first changed into conscious about the native copper in a while after 1500 to the establishment of the region as one of the crucial great copper mining districts of the world.
Krause specializes in the period from 1820 to 1865, when the district’s true mining potential changed into clearer to many and when American science changed from a pleasant amateur diversion into a more rigorous professional discipline, a change clearly reflected in attitudes toward this unique region.
