Show Notes
The episode explains the historical presence of Chinese immigrants in Houghton County, Michigan, highlighting their significant yet often overlooked role in the region's copper mining industry from 1900 to 1910. While many associate the area primarily with European immigrants, Houghton County housed the largest Chinese population in Michigan during this period.
