More Minnesota Documentaries!!
@Jason Moore wants more ? 🤔🤔😂
Seconded.
Nice documentary. It is so neat to see people that I have met talk about the history.
@Jeff Taylor are you certain you are not one of my Iron Range children??
Thank you for sharing. I'm originally from the Mesabi Region (Aurora and Biwabik) and feel that documenting the history and heritage of the area is wonderful - well done!
@Joshua Johnson Biwabik and Aurora are separated by a highway and the Embarrass lake. I am originally from Biwabik but parents have since passed away ...No reason to return to the stone age.
I have family in Aurora too, such a beautiful place.
Really nice documentary. Good knowledge and historical values.
I remember driving on that first road and thought how wonderful it was.
That's a Cornish pasty. They mined tin in Cornwall and there was arsenic in the rock. The trick was to hold the rim. Eat the pasty and throw the rim away. Good video.
Jim Oberstar was a crazy biker and pushed this trail. Need to continue to the Red River that flows to the Hudson Bay
Who's from Tower? great grand father is buried in Eveleth , he worked in the mines ..
Turn these trails into a national treasure. Protect them from strip malls, timeshares, and urban sprawl.
But mines are ok right?......lolol.....wtf is wrong with you.
Beautiful country the northland
New sub ! Liked 🚀👍❤️❤️
My family is from SOUTH BRANCH, ST.JAMES, MINNESOTA, were there any stories know in or around this area?
Would be cool to go metal detect this trail 👣 🤔
Ah, the metal detector would be going off constantly, there is iron ore everywhere. BEEP BEEP.
Video starts out with jerry walking all over a xc ski trail, which has signs and rules for walkers.....................
LoL 😂 shut it. 😳
@Chris Susnik are you the opposite of a Karen ? (Ken?) LOL 😂 JUST kidding , Tell Dean he can bite me. 💪👁️
Yeah bikers and walkers are always trashing the skate deck everywhere 😭
Book hooo
We would be breathing clean air
The Pasty Recipe was stolen From Judith H. back when she was a neighbor of the Carlson family. Carlson family was into selling anything back in the late 70s and early 80s Boats, Bait, Wild Game , meat processing, and even games of Chance.( Gambling) Especially around the holidays. 💪👁️ I know everything. 😂😂 Definition of a first avenue family.
Just to be accurate the “pasty” isn’t Welsh, it is most associated with Cornwall, hence the accepted name used being the “Cornish pasty”, originally the pasty was divided into two different halves, one half being savoury filling and the other a sweet filling, the different halves would have been identified using a shape, letter, or blob of pastry, and the crimped edge of the pasty was indeed used as a handle, the person eating it was usually but not exclusively a miner, in the tin mines, but there weren’t any facilities to wash hands (or the time, time was money), so the person eating it would consume it holding the edge and once finished would discard the crimped edge of the pastry. Many countries or regions have a similar type of pie or pastry, but to be original it has to be made in Cornwall, and I believe, like champagne, the name “Cornish pasty “ has protected status. Just thought viewers might like to know the true origins of the not so humble “pasty”.
The section about the Gun Flint Trail and chik Wauk lodge was fascinating, I wish that places like this were known to the wider world when I was in my prime, I would have loved to have done a “road trip” to experience the great American wilderness, unfortunately CZcams came along to late for me, I will just have to enjoy these wonderful videos from the PBS of American States, thanks for sharing it with me. 😀👍🇬🇧🏴
I have pride in Minnesota, my family still farms in Minnesota, 6 generations. But I will never live in Minnesota again. Not after what has happened and how Minnesota treats its people.
Were those miner immigrants you were talking about legal immigrants?? Just wandering??
They were from Europe, so yes, they did it the legal way. Mn has what was a town up there, now more of an area called Finland for a reason.
Presumptuous
So sad to see Minnesota turning into another California. My great grandparents immigrated to Northern Minnesota in the late 1800s and settled up in Buhl and my great grandfather Robert Murphy was the mining Superintendant at the Buhl open pit mine. My grandfather Samuel Thompson and my uncles all worked at the mine. I always wanted to leave California and retire in MN but not now.
How is it turning into another California? It's always been Minnesota. Care to elaborate?
@@Helpfulbus Taxes, taxes, very poor left-wing radical leadership, crime, crime, regulations, regulations. Wait till you get old and you have worked very hard all your life and like me, you can't afford your taxes. My house is bought and paid for and between my taxes and insurance I.m paying over $8000 a year. Right now gas is at $435 a gallon and is projected to go up to $5.50 this summer. Hell just to launch a boat it costs $20.00. Just to go to a lake $12.00. All this stuff adds up!! We have the highest food prices in the country other than Alaska and Hawaii. You keep voting for those liberal politicians and you will find out for yourself real fast. There is a reason why people are leaving blue states like crazy High Taxes and failed policies. Texas and Florida both red states are experiencing massive amounts of people coming to their states from blue hell-hole states!!!
Early 1900s Iron Range was one of the furthest left communities in the US.
@@Uffda. Shhh don't tell him that.
@@Uffda. far left in the 1900s is nothing like far left now. GET REAL
immigrants from Europe?
Haha. Those were LEGAL IMMAGRANTS!!!! NOT ILLEGAL IMMAGRANTS! quit lying!!!
the old guy giving the tour of the mines...what a dbag...my god i never realized minnesota was so liberal. my wife and I wanted to retire somewhere cold and snowy but it wont be there!
Brainwashed boomer spreading propaganda for sure. Pbs should not get public funding to shit on our culture. The libtard demonrats that infest the twin cities have spewed to the arrowhead and the range (union driven)
i liked him. he was straightforward. we need to mine more metal if the figureheads want to go green. he is also correct in his statement that we need to be careful with watersheds. I can promise you that most of mn is not liberal.
@@nickm455 100% spot on from my experience
Good , we have no use for you.
