Pride of the Inland Seas: An Illustrated History of the Port of Duluth-Superior

Afton, MN: Afton Historical Society Press, 2004. 1st Edition. Hardcover. 4to. Fine / Fine. Item #007030

Full navy cloth. 288 pp. Numerous photographs in text, many in full colour. Sunned panel to front cover of dust jacket, else fine. Pride of the Inland Seas is far more than the story of the building of docks and the opening of navigation channels in the Twin Ports of Duluth, Minnesota and Superior, Wisconsin. It is a compelling tale of voyageurs and visionaries, of masted schooners and thousand-foot lakers - and of vast resources of lumber, grain, and iron ore that built the USA while catapulting the premier Great Lakes port into a global powerhouse of commerce.
