Beyond the Boundaries: Life and Landscape at the Lake Superior Copper Mines, 1840-1875

Autor Larry Lankton
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 noi 1997
Beyond the Boundaries is a companion volume in many ways to Lankton's Cradle to Grave (OUP 1991). Both books deal with copper mining in the Keweenaw Peninsula of Upper Michigan. While Cradle to Grave was concerned with the rise and fall of the copper mining industry - its technology, business practices, and human work experience - Beyond the Boundaries covers a more limited time period, 1840-1875, in the same region, and focuses instead on everyday life. It is essentially a book about men, women, and children, and families - not just their workplace but their homes, stores, churches, schools, hospitals and other aspects of community life as well. It is essentially the story of "reluctant pioneers," who attempted to establish a decent measure of comfort, control, and security in what was in many ways a hostile environment.

Recenzii

few people could write such an engaging book, ... it is a compelling social history of an important mining region in the mid-nineteenth century.
A social history of a pioneer industrial region, "Beyond the Boundaries" is the perfect complement to his earlier monograph, "Cradle to Grave".
the principal strength of "Beyond the Boundaries" is Lankton's ability to tease out the importance of detail.
Lankton writes well, and his writing is based on an impressive amount of careful research.
a richly-detailed study
