{"product_id":"mesabi-pioneers-russell-hill-9780990659105","title":"Mesabi Pioneers","description":"Here is the highly readable account of one of the remarkable achievements of the 19th century: how a remote tree-covered area of northern Minnesota became America's greatest source of iron ore. It is 1891. An improbable team of American businessmen and European immigrants hunt for iron ore in a formidable expanse of dense pine forest. Fighting isolation, harsh winters, and mosquito-infested summers, they find it. What follows is an extraordinary tale of both personal and technological achievement. Mesabi Pioneer​s brings the pursuit of iron ore to vivid life, illuminating the men and women mostly forgotten by history, who built an industry, carved towns from trees, and created a rich culture that lasts to this day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Russell Hill, Jeffrey Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0990659100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780990659105\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lempi Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.57d","brand":"Russell Hill","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43927138533631,"sku":"9780990659105","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5e812de4-4feb-4fab-b374-1e9b780431aa.jpg?v=1681087064","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mesabi-pioneers-russell-hill-9780990659105","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
