The Forgotten Iron King of the Great Lakes by Michael W Nagle
Eber Brock Ward (1811-75) began his career as a cabin boy on his uncles sailing vessels, but when he died in 1875, he was the wealthiest man in Michigan. Michael Nagle makes extensive use of Wards correspondence, business records, contemporary newspaper accounts, and other archival material to craft a balanced profile of this fascinating figure.
Michael W. Nagle is a professor of history and political science at West Shore Community College. He is the author of Justus S. Stearns: Michigan Pine King and Kentucky Coal Baron, 1845–1933 (Wayne State University Press, 2015), which won the Kentucky History Award. Nagle lives in Ludington, Michigan.
