  This seems like something someone would have to watch for school, but here I am at almost 2 am watching this while drinking beer whilst having a sense of awe that I haven't felt since I was a kid. I love these kinds of programs.

  Every Saturday night in Duluth, MN growing up in the 60's I watched Earl Henton educate us on iron mining on the Iron Range before getting to watch a movie. My father and uncles were loggers in the early 1900's between Duluth and the Range.

  The ore once made into steel that made everything from cars to battleships.  This ore made America what it is today.  It is still making America great.

  Ahhhh Minnesota nice. My family history goes back to Two Harbors and Virginia where generations of my family worked on the Duluth and Mesabe IR Railroad from the late 1890s after arriving from Norway. We owe so very much to these early pioneers. Thank you for sharing this rich history. VERY well done.

  My mothers father worked at Silver Lake Mill. My mother was born in Virginia, Mn. My father in Crosby-Ironton. Dad lived to be 102 and died in Chisholm in 2020 where he is buried. Although he worked for Pillsbury Mills and lived in Wayzata for decades he retired to Chisholm after my mom died. My dads folks are buried in Hibbing. Grandpa was a lineman for Minnesota Power and Light than became an engineer for them. I have such great memories of the Range where I was born but got married and moved to the south in1970. I still recall the sound of the loon - always think of the Range when I hear that sound.

  I don't know why I felt like crying when I watched this, but it reminded me of all the terrible hardships they underwent, some of whom were my family members!

  This program was wonderful I enjoyed every minute. &nbsp;My family had an island on Lake Vermilion (Cook End) from the 1950’s to 2013. &nbsp;Having spent so many summers in the area we did take day trips to all that area. &nbsp;Knowing some of the history this filled in many blanks. &nbsp;I miss spending summers on the island and cruising the lake. &nbsp;It is a very special area In the USA . &nbsp;Joan Hahn Carlson.
