Incident at the Bruce Mine Shaft
What Happened at the Bruce Mine Shaft?
In a climate of lawlessness and bigotry on the Iron Range in northern Minnesota during the late 1920’s,
Joe and Sara, two young people on the verge of adulthood, get caught in the struggle of the Finnish to assimilate
into American society. The incident at the Bruce Mine shaft and its subsequent repercussions expose them to the
manipulations of those in power, the ruthlessness of the mining moguls, and the difficulties of asserting their
rights through organizing.
This book is historical fiction. Most of the characters in the book are fictional with the exception of the political figures and
Bill Haywood who was a central figure in the IWW. While the events and the story are fiction, too, the routines, locations, and
practices are real. To receive more information about these, the author has created several Illets. View these
here.

Readers' Comments
"This is a story about family traditions, holding on to what is right, and not looking the other way when you feel something is wrong.
What happens at the Bruce Mine Shaft keeps you engaged and on your toes to the end to figure out the plot. The book makes you think about
what it was like for people fighting for better working conditions and the politics that goes along with it. In many ways we still have some
of the same politics in today’s world." Teresa
"Great book. I liked the story. I lived in that area for about ten years, and the stories I heard were much like the ones in the book.
What made this book fun were the twists and turns the book started to take once you thought you knew what was going on and how it might end." Rich
