Fabulous - history told from the point of view objects and things

I am sure you have heard the saying, “If these walls could talk.” In this book, the bell from the Edmund Fitzgerald, a statue, a hearth, a car that somehow made it through a storm on a ship, rocks, a man car that lifted men down in the mine, a huge pump, and other things do talk. They each tell history through their viewpoints. Each can be seen in museums and locations around the U.P. in Michigan.

The book is a travel guide, also.

Teachers, this would be a terrific mentor text in history or writing class for students to apprentice themselves to the author’s style of writing.

Well researched, well written, and entertaining. 5 stars

This is a Young Adult novel, told through diary entries of its young heroine, Emma. Teh story covers the Finnish immigrant experience in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, in general and the 1913 strike of copper miners against the C&H mine in particular. Well researched and evenly told without too much bias on eitheer side. This is an exellent historical novel about a period and event that gets very little attention either in fiction or in history textbooks.
