"While copper may seem less glamorous than gold, it may be far more important. Copper proved vital to the industrial revolution and indispensable for the electrification of America. Kennecott Copper Corporation, at one time the largest producer of copperin the world, thus played a key role in our economic and industrial development.

As it traces the story of the three mines, the narrative follows four mining engineers
