Northern lights: An illustrated history of Minnesota Power

In this history, Bill Beck describes how electric power changed our lives, while twice nourishing the transformation of our region's mining industry-from steam and muscle to electricity, then from red ore to taconite. He also ties together periods in our evolution to the leaders of those periods, sahowing how each entrepreneur, financier or builder affected the course of our company and the area it serves. As the company has grown, so has responsibility for stewardship of its resources, and so has Minnesota Power's obligation to customers, shareholders, employees and the public at large. The weight of this responsibility is lightened by the people of Minnesota Power. This story is a tribute to the people, past and present, who made its telling possible by their vision, innovation and hard work. {Jack F.
