It did not cover the school system as much as I hoped. My mother grew up there and graduated from the high school. Her father worked for U.S.Steel there.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Great History of a place I lived.By Mark E. OlsonI bought this book because I graduated from Morgan Park HS back in the 60s and lived there from 1959 - 1970. The book is very well researched with some outstanding old photos. The text is easy to follow and laid out very logical. Many interesting facts I never knew while I lived there and brought back a lot of memories.If you like stories about life in the past century this book would help you understand a lot of things from a common mans point of view.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Morgan ParkBy J. HarrisI grew up in west Duluth...but spent much time in Morgan Prk as my grandparents lived there. Being quite young at the time (b. 1952) I never realized what a great community Morgan PArk was and how it became apart of Duluth and am glad to see a renewed spirit of community of this "Company Town" resurge. Book brought back many memories and gave an insight into all the activeites; etc that US Steel provided for the employees. Excellent reading book.
