"Thirteen years ago I published a smaller book of 128 pages called: The Plank Road and the First Railroad. This book now includes material from that book, plus a lot more, especially photos from the old "Deadman's Curve," many old highway and railroad maps, and road histories from the Ishpeming Iron Ore and Negaunee Iron Herald newspapers from 1873 to 1968. The early Lake Superior Journal, which became the Mining Journal, has supplied many details before 1873. Remember that the first section of this book begins in 1844 and predates the Civil War."--From the author, page 3.
