Beyond the boundaries : life and landscape at the Lake Superior copper mines, 1840-1875

This is a companion volume to Lankton's Cradle to the Grave: Life, Work, and Death at the Lake Superior Copper Mines (OUP/USA 1991). That book dealt with work experience and technological change in the Lake Superior Upper Michigan region. Beyond the Boundaries focuses on the people of this region and how the copper mining affected their daily lives. It is much more social history than it is technological history.
