 A Copper Country students must read December 29, 1999
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Having first encountered both Mr. Lankton and this book while a student at Michigan Technological University, I found the book both engrossing as well as informative, which made taking the classs that much easier. Not overly techincal, but just enough to keep the reader informed. This is a must read for anyone interested in the history of the Copper Country. It is also a good source of information on pre-WWII mining practices, including paternalism and labor strife. It also includes details of life outside of the copper mines. Enjoy
 The book was pertinent to my interests in the region. September 11, 1999

The well-researched history of the Copper Country region during the prime years of mining provided insights that were of personal interest to me. My grandfather worked at the largest copper mine, Calumet and Hecla, before he died in 1919. Of course, there are still unanswered questions which I will have to pursue elsewhere but this book included a great deal of social and industrial information.. Other relatives worked in the mines early in this century but no one now living could provide the details offered in Cradle to Grave.
I was amazed and moved by this excellent piece of work. February 27, 1998

I would never have known the extent of what happened in my own back yard had I not come across this book in my local library. As a resident of the Upper Peninsula and a descendant of several copper miners from Hancock, I read with rapt attention the first concise and informative work to really explain the great magnitude and importance of what really went on in the Keewenaw area. Mr. Lankton was focused and gave his readers tremendous amounts of detail without losing sight of the incredible historical significance copper mining had on this area. Thank you for telling me what my great grandfathers endured. My great admiration for them increased even more thanks to you.
