Matthew Liesch

Matthew Liesch has a master's degree in historical geography from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Ironwood, Hurley, and the Gogebic Range features almost 200 photographs from Michigan and Wisconsin during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Supplemented by antique maps and newspaper headlines, this book explores life and landscape during the mining era. Even though Gogebic mines long ago stopped shipping iron ore to the port of Ashland, mining memories linger on.
