"Schumacher: Voices in the Gold Fields reveals life in the mining community that grew up in the midst of the "Big Three" gold producers, the McIntyre, the Hollinger and the Dome mines, in northern Ontario, Canada, one of North America's premier gold-producing areas. Wealthy Columbus, Ohio investor Frederick W. Schumacher gave a fledgling settlement his name and aided its growth. He was a benefactor to the community and "Santa Claus" to the school children, and his Christmas legacy has continued uninterrupted since 1923."--pub. desc.
