The Seven Iron Men, also known as Merritt Brothers, were iron-ore pioneers in the Mesabi Range in northeastern Minnesota and the creation of the city that is now known as Mountain Iron.[1] In the late 1800s, the Merritt family founded the largest iron mine in the world and initiated the consolidation of the American railway system into what would ultimately become the United States Steel Corporation. Their story was told, in part, by the book Seven Iron Men by Paul de Kruif.[2] The book was first published in 1929.
The brothers, actually five brothers and two nephews, charted the Mesabi Range and recorded the areas that demonstrated the highest potential for iron after they recognized what they had found.[citation needed] Due to the lack of railroads in the region, they were initially unable to transport the ore, but their discovery catalyzed the growth of railroads in the region.[1] The railroad became the center of conflict between the Merritt Brothers and J.D. Rockefeller,[3] to whom they were eventually forced to sell their stake in Mountain Iron[1] in 1893.[4]
The primary figure of the Merritt family was Leonidas. He was born in Chautauqua County, New York, where he lived until age 7, when he moved to western Pennsylvania until age 12.[5]In 1856, his family moved to live in a community of five or six families in Duluth, Minnesota, just after the 1854 Treaty of La Pointe transferred land from the Indians and where his father, Lewis Howell Merritt, worked as a lumberman and a millwright.[6] He joined the Army to fight in the Civil War and returned after his father had failed to discover gold in the Vermillion or Mesabi Mountain Ranges. The black "banded ore" rocks that his father brought back to Duluth from the Mesabi Range convinced Leonidas to explore the Mesabi Mountains.[5]
Mesabi is derived from the Ojibwa word for "giant",[7] but is said to have a broader meaning of "the grandmother of them all," as it relates to the division between water flowing into the Hudson Bay from the water flowing into Lake Superior.[5] Geology professor Van Hise had proposed a "trough theory," explaining how the mountains potentially contained ore-filled troughs at various places. Leonidas developed a magnetic survey and mapped out the ore troughs in the area. With money saved 16 years working as a lumberjack, Leonidas bought land for $1.25 an acre and opened what became the largest iron mine in the world, Mountain Iron Mine.[5]
Leonidas was initially joined by his brother Alfred and later by five other family members, as they sought investors. They discovered iron in 1891, after building trails into the mountains and hiring villagers to drill into the troughs. The brothers reinvested their earnings. As soon as the iron was discovered, geologists explored the mountains. One mining expert scorned the Mountain Iron Mine, making it difficult to obtain outside investors. In 1891 the family incorporated the Duluth, Missabe and Northern Railway Company to build a 70-mile-long railroad.[6] The Merritt's raised $400,000 that they advanced to the railroad company in exchange for bonds.
The Seven Iron Brothers owned the largest iron mine in the world during the 1890s. Their success attracted the attention of other wealthy Americans, such as Rockefeller, who was expanding into the iron ore business at that time. The Merritt Brothers put their company stock up as collateral to borrow money from Rockefeller to fund the railroad. In the span of several months, the Merritt Brothers lost their personal wealth and interest in both their mining and railroad corporations. In a series of financial transactions, Rockefeller came to own both the Mountain Iron Mine and the Railroad, leaving the Merritt Brothers financially ruined. Rockefeller's move attracted the attention of Andrew Carnegie and through consolidations, the world's first billion-dollar cooperation, the United States Steel Corporation, would be founded.
In 2011, the economic impact upon America of the steel industry was estimated to contribute $101.2 billion to US GDP and to support 943,045 jobs.[8] It generated $22.9 billion in tax revenues and created seven jobs in the United States economy for every one job created in the steel industry.[8]
I'm so excited. I'll be running for the USAT Bestseller list with these titles. King of Past is the Prequel to Book One King of Knights! I'm hoping to get your support to get there and my this a success.
I look from the flame to my two younger brothers. They are twins, one light and one dark. Ardan is fair with blond locks, Bradan has dark hair with tanned skin. Their temperaments are just the same. Ardan is slow to anger with a light heart. Bradan burns hot and is rough around the edges.
Not even my three brothers. Each has only ever made it a foot near before my power rolls off of the cherrywood and starts to oppress their own energy and powers. It is one of the reasons I hide my deepest darkest secrets within it.
Want to know what happens next... make sure to read King of Past first then read this epic story King of Knights. Pre-order now from iBooks, Nook, and Kobo! Thank you for your support!
In the 1860s, the Luzerne County Courthouse was located in the Public Square in Wilkes-Barre. The Robert Wood & Company of Philadelphia, fabricator of ornamental ironworks, was hired to create an iron fence to surround the Public Square. Shortly thereafter, the company presented Luzerne County with a deer statue, as is seen in the newspaper article below:
In 1876, Asa Packer was an alternate commissioner for Pennsylvania at the Centennial Exposition, held in Philadelphia. It was at the Expo that Packer himself bought the cast iron statue that now stands on the front lawn of his mansion according to Ava Bretzik, former curator of the Asa Packer Mansion.
He certainly looks like the Court House Deer I thought as I pulled out my camera for pics, but my husband grabbed my hand and pulled me the rest of the way to the mansion, where we were just in time for a tour.
My assistance was needed at the other end of the tape measure for chest to rump (43 inches). Photos and measurements in hand, I had what I needed from Herbie for my investigation. With thanks for his cooperation and a pat of his nose, we made our way back down the steps to the car, parked in the lot across from the mansion.

We are IBOT -Iron Brothers of Topeka or IBOT for short. We are three brothers who bring fantasy to reality with our large wearable sculptures. Although we have full time jobs, children and family lives, we find time to imagine, build, and share our creations. Chris, the perfectionist and youngest brother, came up through the ranks of the 501st Legion, a world-wide Star Wars costuming organization. Mike, the mechanic and middle brother, always dreamed about having a fully functioning Iron Man suit. Neal, the adventurer and oldest brother, came about through the SCA or the Society of Creative Anachronism, a medieval fighting and arts group. We have formal education in art, drafting, computer graphic design, mechanics, and business. However, what started out as individual efforts has now escalated into a collaborative effort that includes three generations of our family from our eighty some year old parents, our significant others and our children. Other families have picnics in the park, we have building parties and go to comic conventions. The family that cosplays together has more fun!
Iron BrothersNameTetsuro and TetsuoThe Iron Brothers are twin brothers, Tetsuo and Tetsuro Tetsujin who wear sailor suits and metal helmets. The Iron Brothers claim that they were experimented on in a laboratory and then escaped. They wear the Iron Helmets, believing it gives them psychic abilities, flight and traveling through time and space, and will protect them from being detected by the military.

Background: The discovery of the gene responsible for most cases of hereditary haemochromatosis has made it possible to evaluate the role of this gene in iron accumulation in other conditions. Previous observations in patients with various inherited anaemias are suggestive of a role of the haemochromatosis gene in the noniatrogenic form of iron overload that may occur in these conditions.
Methods: We studied two brothers with congenital dyserythropoietic anaemia type II, presenting with marked noniatrogenic iron overload. Young age, familial occurrence, concordance of iron overload, and histology were all suggestive of a genetic basis for the iron overload. A search for C282Y, H63D, S65C, and IVS3 + 1G?T mutations was performed by polymerase chain reaction after extraction of genomic DNA from whole blood.
Results: A search for the C282Y, H63D, S65C, and IVS3 + 1G?T mutations in the HFE gene proved to be negative. Despite the existence of ineffective erythropoiesis with mild anaemia, both patients were treated with regular phlebotomies in order to prevent long-term complications of their iron-overload. This treatment was well tolerated.
Conclusions: 1. C282Y, H63D, S65C, and IVS3 + 1G?T mutations were negative in two brothers with congenital dyserythropoietic anaemia, in whom young age, familial occurrence, concordance of iron overload, and the histological pattern were all suggestive of hereditary haemochromatosis. 2. Treatment with regular phlebotomies, in order to prevent complications of iron overload, was well tolerated despite the existence of mild haemolytic anaemia.
