Pride of the Inland Seas tells the tale of Duluth-Superior's development during three centuries of political, economic, technological, and social changes. Along the way, it paints a vivid canvas of the port's history against a backdrop of key industries that helped build a young United States: forest products, iron and steel, grain, and coal. It also captures intriguing stories of entrepreneurs who built, loaded, and sailed the ships that have made the Twin Ports synonymous with Great Lakes maritime commerce.

Seller: Friendly Books, Lakewood, OH, U.S.A.
Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Hardcover with dust jacket showing some wear to corners with curling and wear to edges. Blue cloth covers with gold lettering to spine. Dried discoloration to front bottom edge near spine. Puncture hole noted to back jacket. No damage noted to pages. Pages clean and bright with many illustrations. This book is far more than the story of the building of docks and the opening of navigation channels in the Twin Ports of Duluth, Minnesota, and Superior, Wisconsin. It is a compelling tale of voyageurs and visionaries, of masted schooners and thousand-foot lakers--and of vast resources of lumber, grain, and iron ore that built our nation while catapulting the premier Great Lakes port into a global powerhouse of commerce.
