Additional information

Editor’s Note: One of 15 parts, this article and the installments that follow revisit the historical record and reference figures of the past to show how mining, minerals, and metals have profoundly influenced conflict, religion, technology, economics, and mass migration on both macro- and microscales. The papers were prepared exclusively for JOM based on a keynote lecture delivered by the author to the International Symposium on Mining, which was held September 1997 in Fairbanks, Alaska.

Raymond L. Smith is a past (emeritus) president of Michigan Technological University, chair of the board of Community Water Company of Green Valley, and a member of the board of LS&I Railroad.
