This is a reprint of the 1979 book. It is an oral history of White Pine, Michigan a small town in the Upper Peninsula that had mining booms in the 1880s, WW I and 1945 to 1996. The 140 pages, 108 pictures and four dozen interviews cover locals from age 18 to 97 who remember the town as it was in World War I and then the post World War II boom. Many of the interviewees have long since passed away but their memories remain in this book. The stories capture the highs and lows of a mining town with alot of humor.
