From its beginnings in 1898 until its final year in 1998, Algoma Ore held a unique position in the history of iron ore mining in Canada.  It was a century of great energy, strong leadership, remarkable innovation and finally tenacity.  This book is a tribute to those men and women, who with their courage and indomitable spirit, came from all over the world, contributing their skills not only to Algoma, but to the building of the thriving town of Wawa, Ontario.
