Chuck Voelker has done an outstanding job of presenting the history of this region of the U.P., and we are proud to host his Copper Country Reflections here at Pasty Central.

In addition to the historical photos, Chuck has assembled some fascinating documentation of the era, such as this receipt issued to Quincy Mine by S.E. Cleaves and Son, who operated the factory:

Hey, did youse guys watch Sunday Morning magazine on CBS this morning? They ended by showing a clip taken around Bond Falls!!

These historical pictures are so, so interesting!
They help me to understand what life must have been like for my ancestors who were truly Copper
Country pioneers. Thanks so much for showing
these pictures from Churck Voelker every now and then. They are treasures.

Yes -- what a pleasant surprise to conclude the CBS Sunday Morning show with the stunning footage of Bond Falls!

Wonder which rockhouse that cable sheave went to? Looks like the ones at Painesdale's Champion.

I thought it looked like alot like the one in Quincy #2

My great-great grandfather was Thomas Fitzgerald. I understand that he was a machinist at the Portage Lake Foundry until his retirement after WWI. Thank you so much for this glimpse into my family's history.
