My husband and I attended a dinner cruise in Duluth on Lake Superior not too long ago, and we had the opportunity to see the old remnants of the grain elevators from our ship. We are both obsessed with the history of Duluth and how its commercial enterprise relied on Lake Superior. This book is very insightful and informative with outstanding illustrations!
