reviewed Minnesota's Iron Country: Rich Ore, Rich Lives on December 21, 2019 Minnesota's Iron Country: Rich Ore, Rich Lives
Interesting read, although a bit dry and full of huge footnotes that I felt distracted from the flow of the chapters (or maybe I'm just not cut out to read historical non-fiction).
A couple quick thoughts: 1) kudos to Brooks for having the courage to write this at a time when all the details were essentially filed away and locked up, and 2) the wild, wild west was a crazy time and basically uncivilized by today's standards. This event took place in that setting, yet I'm trying to understand it through the lens of my current world view, which makes it really hard to understand how these otherwise upstanding people could have done something so awful. I find that contradiction compelling and confounding.
In any case, I look forward to visiting the monument next time I'm in southern Utah.
