Abstract
Explorers in the nineteenth century found many pits and tools along rich copper seams in Michigan's Upper Peninsula-evidence that prehistoric inhabitants mined copper there for thousands of years. John Halsey, former state archaeologist of Michigan, tells the story of those who discovered the ancient mines in this thorough and engaging tale.
