Inhaltsangabe

"Copper, Timber, Iron & Heart" is a collection of stories from Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. These are the stories of the men and women whose courage and determination forged the Upper Peninsula of Michigan into what it is today. This is history told not in an "eat your spinach" manner but through narrative stories told with imagination and improvisation, more like ice cream dessert.

Ben is a native of the UP and a United States Air Force retiree. After wandering the world over he returned home with a greater appreciation of the United States and his home in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

"If a man takes no thought about what is distant, he will find sorrow near at hand" (Confucius 551 to 479 B.C.)
