In Iron Will: Cleveland-Cliffs and the Mining of Iron Ore, 1847--2006, Terry S. Reynolds and Virginia P. Dawson tell the story of Cleveland-Cliffs, the only surviving independent American iron mining company, now known as Cliffs Natural Resources. Headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, Cleveland-Cliffs played a major role in the opening and development of the Lake Superior mining district and Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Through Cleveland-Cliffs' history, Reynolds and Dawson examine major transitions in the history of the American iron and steel industry from the perspective of an important raw materials supplier.

Reynolds and Dawson trace Cleveland-Cliffs' beginnings around 1850, its growth under Samuel L. Mather and his son William G. Mather, its emergence as an important player in the growing national iron ore market, and its tribulations during the Great Depression. The authors explore the company's fortunes after World War II, when Cleveland-Cliffs developed technologies to tap into vast reserves of low-grade Michigan iron ore and turned to joint ventures and strategic partnerships to raise the capital needed to implement them. The authors also explain how the company became the largest independent producer of iron ore in the United States by purchasing the mining interests of its bankrupt partners during the implosion of the American steel industry in the late-twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Reynolds and Dawson detail Cleveland-Cliffs' evolving efforts to deal with labor, from its early mostly immigrant workforce to its ambitious program of welfare capitalism in the early twentieth century to its struggles with organized labor after World War II.

Iron Will is a thorough, well-organized history based on extensive archival research and interviews with company personnel. This story will appeal to scholars interested in industrial or mining history, business historians, and those interested in Great Lakes and Michigan history.

Great, but they don't last.
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1), Style: Heart
Our dog absolutely loves these things. However, they get punctured or form a crack on a seam with very little use. This time it only took a couple of hours of play. Once this happens, they no longer squeak. This may sound weird, but the heart shape seems worse for this defect.

My dog loves it - yours will, too
My little merle bulldog absolutely LOVES this toy! It is so cute to watch him play, chew, and toss it all around. We were worried he would chew through the material but so far that is not the case. This product is sturdy and can take a beating!

Great glitter body spray
Color: Fairy-Diamond, Color: Fairy-Diamond
So cute. Came with extra glitter, I’m assuming lipgloss you can make into glitter lipgloss, a funnel to help pour the glitter. Or re load your spray. The spray performance is nice. Might stick better with some oil before hand? But I like it so far. Worked 6 hours and still had glitter on me for my photoshoot. I sprayed perfume and then glitter. There’s no odor. The amount of quantity of glitter you get seems good for the price. Durability seems good so far but like I said may need some oil or lotion first to help it stick all day.

Troll glitter
Color: Brandy-Rose
Do not spray too much! This glitter is so fine that it dispenses easily from the puff part and you can easily make yourself look like Poppy the troll. We had so much fun with this for prom

Glitter with staying power
Color: Rainy-Rainbow, Color: Rainy-Rainbow
Super fun and sparkly, the color is beautiful, it comes with 2 glue tubes with brushes that you use to rub the glue onto your skin in order for the sparkle to stick better and longer, made a heart shape on my arm, dries fairly quickly and washes off easily when you're done with it It sprays a fine layer and evenly, it's great for building on for more sparkle or to just have a light layer Even without the glue it lasts at least a couple hours with minimal shedding and light use, seems to have good longevity With 2 glue tubes, a refill tub, funnel and the glitter spray bottle I feel $10 is a great value considering everything you get with it, Overall I feel like it's a fantastic product and will buy again!
