Rickard, deals mostly with the mines in the South Range area, and is very rare.</div> <div> And Professional Paper 144, by Butler and Burbank, is a must for any collection, as it contains a great amount of information about the history of mines and their production rates.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="c9c08a00.jpg" border=0 width="264" height="416" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG

interesting.  <I><U>The Long Winter Ends </U></I>deals with life at the Central Mine.</div> <div> <I><U>Where Copper was King</U></I> is topnotch, and covers the Ontonagon mines during the Civil War era.</div> <div> <I><U>Copper Country Adventure</U></I> is a fictional tale revolving around the Cliff Mine.</div> <bR> <div> The others have, and will, stand the test of time and should be required reading for all students of </div> <div> Copper Country history.</div> <bR> <div> As I said earlier, these are but a few of the many publications available.  Many have a variety of volumes available.</div> <div> You'll find others that cover new ground, or reinvestigate familiar stories.  But one thing stands out: The history of the Copper Country is rich and very well documented, either in writing or photographs, and based on the feedback I receive from this web site, something that is still very much appreciated and respected.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="cb515ae0.jpg" border=0
