A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Angus Murdoch created a classic story of the Copper Country with his masterpiece BOOM COPPER, which has been out of print for decades. At the time, the author reflected little confidence that his book would for so long be held in such high regard: “THIS BOOK WAS WRITTEN as a purely informal review of the life and times of an almost forgotten American mining district. The amount of source material on the Century of Michigan Copper was surprising at least to the author indicating a virgin field for the talents of a more serious historian.” ---- Angus Murdoch Murdoch, obviously, underestimates his talents. He appeared to write this as a labor of love and a service to future generations, and maybe that is why it remains one of the most objective and respected histories of the Copper Country, its rise to dominance in the mining world, and its inevitable fade. BOOM COPPER is the perfect place to start for those who want to see the copper mining boom in its broad strokes, and any reader or researcher looking for an unbiased viewpoint. It informs, and unlike a lot of histories, it truly entertains.
