David A. Walker tells the story of the opening of the last iron-
ore frontier in the United States on the Vermilion, Mesabi, and
Cuyuna ranges of Minnesota--the nation's largest ore deposits.
Walker explores the formative years from the 1880s to the early
1900s in the development of the state's mining industry, the "iron
men" it produced, the new towns it spawned, and the railroads it
built to transport the new-found wealth to growing ports on Lake
Superior. Drawing on manuscripts, newspaper accounts, and business
and financial records, Walker's study provides an economic history
of an industry whose dimensions reached far beyond the borders of
Minnesota.
