Red Ore Rising: The Journal of Otto Peltonen, a Finnish Immigrant Story
William Durbin
A portrait of the Finnish immigrant experience in Minnesota during the early twentieth centuryAfter journeying across the Atlantic with his mother and two sisters, young Otto Peltonen joins his father in the iron ore mines of northern Minnesota, experiencing the harsh labor conditions that were common at the time, as mining companies cared more about making a profit than for their workers' safety. Writing in his journal about his family's struggles and the hard life Finnish immigrants endured in the early twentieth century, Otto ultimately strengthens his resolve to find the freedom his family had first sought in America.
