Originally published in 1861, 'Ancient Mining on the Shores of Lake Superior' is a pioneering study of the prehistoric copper mines that were operated by Indigenous peoples in what is now the Great Lakes region of North America. Drawing on archaeological evidence and ethnographic accounts, Charles Whittlesey provides a detailed picture of the tools, techniques, and social organization of these early miners. A fascinating and invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of Indigenous technology and pre-Columbian America.
