Throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries schooner trade was a welldeveloped system of maritime transport for commodities such as grain lumber and iron The schooner trade was as critical to the development of the Great Lakes region as covered wagons were to the Far West and paddle wheel steamers were to the South Schooners sailed the Great Lakes in large numbers and played a formative role in the shaping of pioneer life throughout the region The schooners that traveled the Lake Michigan basin succeeded in bringing a range of shoreline communities and four separate states into one coherent region Although schooners successfully competed with steam vessels for more than a halfcentury wooden sailing ships could not match the scale of the giant steel bulk carriers that began to emerge from shipyards in the twentieth century The Mary A Gregoryone of the last schooners leftwas torched sunk and buried in Lake Michigan in 1926 Schooner Passage is a history of these magnificent sailing vessels and their role in maritime trade along Lake Michigan Theodore J Karamanski shares with the reader the stories of the men and women who sailed on the schooners their labor issues and strikes the role of the schooner in the maritime economy along the Lake Michigan basin and the factors that led to the eventual demise of that economy in the early twentieth century Karamanski has put together historical accounts from newspaper clippings historical society archives and government documents to provide one of the few available histories of schooners Schooner Passage will interest scholars and students of Great Lakes and American history as well as the general reader interested in nineteenthcentury western expansion.

In Hollowed Ground, author Larry Lankton tells the story of two copper industries on Lake Superior-native copper mining, which produced about 11 billion pounds of the metal from the 1840s until the late 1960s, and copper sulfide mining, which began in the 1950s and produced another 4.4 billion pounds of copper through the 1990s. In addition to documenting companies and their mines, mills, and smelters, Hollowed Ground is also a community study. It examines the region\'s population and ethnic mix, which was a direct result of the mining industry, and the companies\' paternalistic involvement in community building. While this book covers the history of the entire Lake Superior mining industry, it particularly focuses on the three biggest, most important, and longest-lived companies: Calumet & Hecla, Copper Range, and Quincy. Lankton shows the extent of the companies\' influence over their mining locations, as they constructed the houses and neighborhoods of their company towns, set the course of local schools, saw that churches got land to build on, encouraged the growth of commercial villages on the margin of a mine, and even provided pasturage for workers\' milk cows and space for vegetable gardens. Lankton also traces the interconnected fortunes of the mining communities and their companies through times of bustling economic growth and periods of decline and closure. Hollowed Ground presents a wealth of images from Upper Michigan\'s mining towns, reflecting a century and a half of unique community and industrial history. Local historians, industrial historians, and anyone interested in the history of Michigan\'s Upper Peninsula will appreciate this informative volume. Throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, schooner trade was a well-developed system of maritime transport for commodities such as grain, lumber, and iron. The schooner trade was as critical to the development of the Great Lakes region as covered wagons were to the Far West and paddle wheel steamers were to the South. Schooners sailed the Great Lakes in large numbers and played a formative role in the shaping of pioneer life throughout the region. The schooners that traveled the Lake Michigan basin succeeded in bringing a range of shoreline communities and four separate states into one coherent region. Although schooners successfully competed with steam vessels for more than a half-century, wooden sailing ships could not match the scale of the giant steel bulk carriers that began to emerge from shipyards in the twentieth century. The Mary A. Gregory--one of the last schooners left--was torched, sunk, and buried in Lake Michigan in 1926. Schooner Passage is a history of these magnificent sailing vessels and their role in maritime trade along Lake Michigan. Theodore J. Karamanski shares with the reader the stories of the men and women who sailed on the schooners, their labor issues and strikes, the role of the schooner in the maritime economy along the Lake Michigan basin, and the factors that led to the eventual demise of that economy in the early twentieth century. Karamanski has put together historical accounts from newspaper clippings, historical society archives, and government documents to provide one of the few available histories of schooners. Schooner Passage will interest scholars and students of Great Lakes and American history as well as the general reader interested in nineteenth-century western expansion.
