Description
Subtitled: “The Story of Stephen Birch.” Stephen Birch was one of thousands who came north in 1898 seeking their fortunes. Most sought wealth in gold; Birch found it in copper. Birch succeeded where many others failed because he had a technical education, wealthy friends and remarkable tenacity. Birch rose in 20 years to control 14 percent of world copper production through his Kennecott Copper Company.
