Vein of Iron tells a kaleidoscopic story. It ranges form docks and blast furnaces on the Lower Lakes to iron mining on all six of the Lake Superior ranges. It spans the mule-power and manpower mines of the early years and the present concentrating of taconite pellets from Minnesota's iron-bearing rock. It shows seventy-five years of change in underground and open-pit mining, in Great Lakes freighters, and in the operation of loading docks and blast furnaces. It describes historic storms on the Great Lakes, the lusty life of the old range towns, the planting of new communities in the northern wilderness. It pictures explorers, miners, geologists, engineers, organizers, and financiers - all men who found in the earth and in themselves a vein of iron.
