My husband "Yooperman" was raised in the upper peninsula, his father an iron ore miner. Recently there was another discovery of silver in the upper peninsula. I don't know how extensive it is, but interesting that more silver is being mined once again. Incidentally, the Song of Hiawatha is one I heard frequently as a child. My father used to sing it, and would often talk about the shores of Lake Superior as "the shores of Gitche Gumee." Thanks for sharing this wonderful history lesson and bringing back fond memories!Nanceehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12588677121611836251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-4405086823097951362013-05-17T15:13:38.163-04:002013-05-17T15:13:38.163-04:00This gave me chills!
