Originally published in 1919, The Iron Hunter is the autobiography
of one of Michigan's most influential and flamboyant historical
figures: the reporter, publisher, explorer, politician, and
twenty-seventh governor of Michigan, Chase Salmon Osborn
(1860-1949). Making unprecedented use of the automobile in his 1910
campaign, Osborn ran a memorable campaign that was followed by an
even more remarkable term as governor. In two years he eliminated
Michigan's deficit, ended corruption, and produced the state's
first workmen's compensation law and a reform of the electoral
process. His autobiography reflects the energy and enthusiasm of a
reformer inspired by the Progressive Movement, but it also reveals
the poetic spirit of an adventurer who fell in love with Michigan's
Upper Peninsula after traveling the world.
