He went looking for iron ore in country nobody had surveyed, and ended up governing Michigan. Osborn's autobiography runs from newspaper work through the prospecting years in the northern woods, the strike that made him rich, and the politics that came after. A big, restless American life told by a man who never sat still long enough to get bored.
