1902.) | MARINE REVIEW, 27 Se et A HISTORY OF THE LAKE SUPERIOR IRON COUNTRY THE MARINE REVIEW RECENTLY PUBLISHED A BIOGRAPHY OF THE HON. PETER WHITE, OF MAR- QUETTE, MICH., WHICH ATTRACTED WIDESPREAD ATTENTION THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY, AND RE- SULTED IN A QUICK SALE OF THE ENTIRE ISSUES IN WHICH IT WAS PUBLISHED. © @©> @® @ There were two reasons for this: The first was that the personality of the Hon. Peter WHITE is fascinating and that it has been given to very few men to live the life which he has lived. He went into the upper Peninsula of Michigan almost immediately upon the discovery of iron ore, and, as a slender stripling, assisted in the exploitation of the first iron mine. He penetrated the trackless wilds é with Indians and dog sleds to fetch and carry the mails and in an hundred ways he sought to develop this wonderful iron country. His life is romance; it is high light against the background of the greatest industrial revolution that the world has ever seen, It is these great deposits of iron in the Lake Superior country which have made the United States the great manufacturing nation that it is. They have literally moved the world's steel-making center west of the Allegheny mountains. Peter White's manly, sturdy life has continually been a part of this procession of progress. This is the first and great reason for the avidity with which the biography was seized upon. The second reason is that the biographical sketch contained a complete and authentic history of the Lake Superior iron country, bringing out many facts of great historical significance never before published. The Marine Review proposes now to amplify the biography and to bring it out in book form, abundantly illustrated. We believe that it will add a new and interesting chapter to American history. It will, at any rate, be a distinct addition to the literature of the great state of Michigan. We will be greatly aided by orders for the book now, bat don't send any money. It will be time enough to send that when we send you the book. If you don't want the book when you see it, you can send it back to us at our expense. That's fair, isn't it? We don't know yet what the book is going to cost us ; but it won't cost you over One Dollar anyhow, and probably not more than Fifty Cents. May we have your order ? We would like it now because it will enable us to determine, in a measure, how many to print. A postal card will serve you for an order.
