There must have been a bear jamboree in Ironwood up in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula over the weekend. On Saturday, Ironwood Public Safety Department officers received eight different reports/complaints of bears. A large number of the complaints seem to be in reference to one of the bears in particular. He was tracked and [...]

Fred Rydholm is a local historian up in Marquette. He has written a few Michigan-related books in the past, but his newest one will contradict what most of us have been taught about history. His new book is entitled “Michigan Copper - The Untold Story.”
As a boy he saw the ancient copper [...]
