3.0 out of 5 stars Excellent review of gold mining history in Michigan, July 15, 1999

By A Customer

Daniel Fountain's review of the history of gold mining in Michigan makes one feel as if present during the periods of discovery, mining and eventual phasing out of gold production in large amounts. Although no mines are currently in operation, Fountain does very little to discourage would-be prospectors; he in fact encourages people to get out and try their hands at panning for the mosty sought after metal in the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars GOLD in them thar hills..., January 6, 2009

By	Robert J. Davidson (grand rapids mich) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I visited the Gold mine in Northern Mich in the 1970's.
Lots of 2 track roads & ruts....this book brings back memories.
I went prospecting for Gold in the UP of Michigan in the 70's & found a "family" of friends instead.
They are worth much more than the gold that i could have found :)
Great book !!!!
