Lake Superior in Michigans Iron country 1800's

The next morning we started for the much-talked-of iron hills. At the Cleveland mountain we found Capt. Samuel Moody and John H. Mann, who had spent the previous summer and winter there. I well remember how astonished I was the next morning, when Captain Moody asked me to go with him to dig some potatoes for breakfast. He had half an acre on the summit of the hill, since known as the Marquette Company's Mountain, partially cleared and planted with potatoes.
