Hoagland, Alison K. Mine Towns: Buildings for Workers in Michigan's Copper Country

Univ. of Minnesota Press

2010

Book ID: 84792

Focusing on how the exchange between company managers and a largely immigrant workforce took the form of negotiation rather than a top-down system, Hoagland examines surviving buildings and uses Copper CountryÕs built environment to map this remarkable connection between a company and its workers at the height of MichiganÕs largest land rush.
