In the company towns of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, a worker's boss did   extra duty as landlord, store owner and constable. The on-site mill manager   in Simmons, a town named after the furniture maker, even ran a successful   baseball team. Built around iron mines and lumber concerns and directed by   prominent entrepreneurs like Henry Ford, these industrial hamlets once lined   the shores of Lakes Michigan and Superior. Author Christian Holmes uncovers   rich stories of struggle and celebration as he explores the vestiges of these   vanished communities and their lasting legacy in the identity of the Upper   Peninsula.
