MINES OF THE PEWABIC COUNTRY OF MICHIGAN AND WISCONSIN
VOLUME 1, GOLD AND SILVER
By Bruce K. Cox
This is the first of a four-volume series
that will cover the gold, silver, copper, and iron mines and
explorations of the region, which includes the fringes of
Ontonagon county and all of Gogebic county in Michigan; all of
Iron and Ashland counties and part of Bayfield county,
Wisconsin. The iron range that crosses this region was
originally called the Pewabic, but through a misreading became
the Penokee. Western Gogebic county was once part of Pewabic
township. Volume 1 lists 104 locations in alphabetical order. It
begins with an introduction and section maps showing the
territory covered by the locations, when known. Illustrated with
photographs of some of the sites, old advertisements, maps, et
cetera, this is an interesting historical account of the old
gold and silver explorations, few or none of which ever amounted
to profitable mining operations. Extensively footnoted, with
bibliography and complete index to names, companies and
locations. First published in 2002.
