Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History and Review of Copper, Iron, Silver, Slate: And Other Material Interests of the South Shore of Lake Superior
In this connection I desire to return my sincere thanks to Hon. John H. Forster, one of the earliest among the pioneers of the copper region, for a very nearly complete history Of the discovery and development of the copper interest, and at the same time, to beg his pardon for having so elaborated his valuable paper as to impair, in some degree, the style and harmony of his composition. I am also indebted to Jacob Houghton, A. R. Harlow, and Hon. Peter White, for much valuable information, aside from the former's very interesting paper on the Ancient Copper Miners of Lake Superior. The geology of the Iron District, by Chas. E. Wright, M. E., though brief is exhaustive, and written in words that are within the comprehension of others than scientists. It is pronounced the ablest and most reliable paper upon the subject that has ever been written. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
