Outstanding history of this town and community. Well worth the read for those who are interested in this learning about this little known and important place in US history. For instance, the iron ore mined from this town was such high quality it was used to help build the Golden Gate, George Washington and Brooklyn bridges. It was also run like an old west town with much of the downside of such places.

I enjoyed it because it represents my family's history with the mine.
