Lead Ore and Surveying le Pays des Illinois -- Early Mining and Smelting in North America -- Tracing Eighty Years of Early Mining Associations -- Early Mineralogical Assessments and Emerging Science -- Unhealthy Spaces Fitted Up with Furnaces.

"This book explores Native American and Euro-American lead mining in the Midwest. As Europeans flooded North America and moved westward, their own mining practices were greatly informed by Native American mining methods already in place. And while many researchers have explored gold, silver, and copper mining and smelting, lead has not received much scholarly attention, despite a long history of Native American and European desire for the ore. Chambers reflects on how early mining techniques affected the culture clash between Native Americans and European colonists, all the while tracking the impact increased mining had on the environment of what would become the states of Illinois and Missouri."
