Building on his original book, Michigan Gold, Dan Fountain expands the accounts of the quest for precious metals in the Upper Peninsula. Here, prospectors flocked for their chance at wealth, searching for a glint of gold or a vein of silver amid the better-known copper deposits. From the exploration of mine shafts of old to the mechanized mining of the modern era, Dan guides you through geography and time, and shares details that help to pinpoint the pockets of minerals rumored to be hiding in the hills of the Upper Peninsula to this day.

Book excerpt: From the award-winning author of Diamond: A blazing exploration of the human love affair with gold that “combines the engaging style of a travel narrative with sharp-eyed journalistic exposé” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, the price of gold skyrocketed—in three years more than doubling from $800 an ounce to $1900. This massive spike drove an unprecedented global gold-mining and exploration boom, much bigger than the gold rush of the 1800s. In Gold, acclaimed author Matthew Hart takes you on an unforgettable journey around the world and through history to tell the extraordinary story of how gold became the world’s most precious commodity. Beginning with a page-turning report from the crime-ridden inferno of the world’s deepest mine, Hart traveled around the world to the sites of the hottest action in gold today, from the biggest new mine in China, to the highly secretive London gold exchange, and the lair of the world’s most powerful gold trader in Geneva, Switzerland. He profiles the leaders of the gold market today, the nature of the current boom, and the likely prospects for the future. From the earliest civilizations, when gold was an icon of sacred and kingly power, Hart tracks its evolution, through conquest, murder, and international mayhem, into the speculative casino-chip that the metal has become. He ends by telling the story of the massive flows of gold that have occurred in the wake of the financial crisis and what the world’s leading experts are saying about the profound changes underway in the gold market and the prospects for the future. “Compelling, stylish, and impressively researched” (The Boston Globe), Gold is a wonderful historical odyssey with important implications for today’s global economy.

Book excerpt: "According to many sources, the total value of the White Pine of Michigan exceeded that of the gold mined in California, a point well discussed by several writers.My use of the title 'White Pine; Michigan's Gold', refers not as much to any monetary similarities of White Pine and gold as it does to the impetus for settlements by those involved in the business of either.As the discovery of gold on the American River in 1847 brought thousands of miners to California, the White Pine lured thousands of lumbermen to Northern Michigan in the mid 1800's.In both cases, new towns would spring up around the men who worked the claims or mills, and the businesses that followed and served to support them. As the gold or timber played out, some of these towns would die, becoming ghost towns, while others would find new reasons to continue and flourish."
