| Summary |
"Michigan's Copper Country in Early Photos" by B.E. Tyler is a historical account featuring a collection of photographs from the early 20th century. Originally published around the early 1900s and later reprinted in 1977, this book provides a visual representation of the Copper Country, emphasizing its natural beauty and copper mining industry. The photographs capture the landscapes, communities, and the pivotal role of copper mining in the region's development. The book is primarily a pictorial anthology that gives readers a glimpse into life in the Copper Country around 1900. It highlights various aspects of copper mining, including the mines, workers, and extensive machinery used in operations. Tyler discusses notable locations like the abandoned Cliff Mining Camp, the grandeur of mining structures like the Quincy Rock House, and the beautiful natural scenery that surrounds the area. Through its collection of images, the book not only illustrates the industrial heritage of the region but also evokes a sense of nostalgia for the changes that time has wrought upon the Copper Country.
