Valentin Pulido Annotated Bibliography Surveys and Inventories Busch, Jane C. 2013. Copper Country Survey: Final Report and Historic Preservation Plan, Reconaissance-level survey of above ground resources. Survey, Calumet: Keweenaw National Historical Park Advisory Commission. The Copper Coutnry Survey is a multifaceted report on historic resources within the Keweenaw Penisula. As a report, it provides in contextual historic information on the artifacts and landscape. Furthermore, the survey offers a comprhensive plan for preservation efforts. The Keweenaw Penisula is a well documented region of the UP. This survey is a tool that may be used to avoid redundancy while providing supplemental information on this report. Camp, M.J. 2017. Railroad Station Historical Society, Inc. April 3. Accessed October 25, 2017. http://www.rrshs.org/index.html. The Railroad Station Historical Society’s website provides a list of historic stations within the region of interest. Though the site provides these lists according to county, it does not provide exact locations, which is an objective of this study. Also, the site lacks a listing of stations that have been razed. Nevertheless, this may be a rare example of a source that provides a comprehensive list of existing stations that would be a guide for future research. Hyde, Charles K., and Diane B. Abbott. 1978. "The Upper Peninsula of Michigan: An Inventory of Historic Engineering." United States Department of Interior, Washington D.C. This inventory by Hyde and Abbott was an important source for much of my perliminary research for this project. Overall, the inventory is an indepth survey of historic resources within the Upper Penisula. Due to the age of the report, it is out of date and many of the resources has since been torn down, relocated, or altered; all elements that should be updated. The inventory provides UTM coordinates which may be transcribed onto GIS mapping software for visual presentation purposes. Though the inventory provides information on many historic railroad station, there are many that were not included. Mrozek, David J. 2008. Railroad Depots of Michigan. Chicago, IL.: Arcadia Publishing. Though this source is a part of a series by Arcadia Publishing renowned for featuring timely photography, this edition in particular cites a number of railroad stations not listed in other inventories, thus making it a useful guide. In many cases, this source provides the build date on the stations, which is also quite helpful. Industrial History Crowe, William S. 2002. Lumberjack: Inside an Era in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Skandia, MI: North County Pub. The lumber industry had a strong relationship with the railroad transportation. Lumberjack camps were among the earliest settlements in many parts of the UP, however, they were largely impermanent. Lumberjack offers an account by a former lumberjack which includes location information, as-well-as, insight into life in the camps.
Finlan, Bill. n.d. 200 Years of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and its People, 1776-1976. Utica, MI. Poet Bill Finlan gives an account of the lives of the people of the UP from the earliest western settlements through recent history. Though this source may not be rich in factual information, it provides important folklore and stories from the common people of the region that is often overlooked for political and industrial elites. Holmes, Christian. 2015. Company Towns of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Charleston, SC: The History Press. Christian Holmes offers a rare source on company towns in the UP. These towns are often comprised of early settlements. Some towns have gone on to become prosperous cities and some have become ghost towns. These towns are also made up of workers from the mining and lumber industries. Knowing where company towns are located will provide substantive geographic information that will be useful for GIS purposes. Academic Sources Liesch, Matthew. 2014. "Spatial boundaries and industrial landscapes at Keweenaw National Historical Park." The Extractive Industries and Society 1 (2): 303-311. Spatial analysis is an important component of this study. Therefore, it is important to have an understanding on related studies on the region. This is an effort to acquire an understanding of geographic principals and to avoid redundancy on subject matter. This article complements the survey conducted by Jane Busch. Though both involve the Keweenaw National Historical Park, they have very different approaches to their work and different objectives. LIiesch, Matthew, Linda M. Dunklee, Robert J. Legg, Anthony D. Feig, and Austin Jena Krause. 2015. "Use of Business-Naming Practices to Delineate Vernacular Regions: A Michigan Example." Journal of Gepgraphy 11 (5): 188-196. While conducting spatial analysis, it is important to consider methods to document vernacular areas while utilizing GIS technology. Though this study looks at techniques for research, it does not offer much in the way of factual information. However, it does critique methods that are common but have disadvantages. Scarlett, Sarah Fayen. 2014. Everyone's an Outsider: Architecture, Landscape, and Class in Michigan's Copper Country. Dissertation, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Ann Arbor: ProQuest LLC. In this dissertation, Sarah Scarlett looks at the layers of class status in the Copper Country region of the Upper Peninsula. She examines a wealth of information including building types and Sanborn maps. Her work incorporates a large quantity of sources which will be of great value in understanding the region in terms of people and places.
