The Copper Princess, published in 1898, is an adventure novel for young readers by Kirk Munroe, set in the copper country of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Richard Peveril, a wealthy orphan and the stroke of the Oxford rowing crew, learns that his fortune is gone and returns to America to make his own way. Working in the deep copper mines among Cornish miners, he wins friends through pluck, and when he sets out to find a lost mine known as the Copper Princess, he faces enemies, a prehistoric mine shaft, smugglers and a battle on Lake Superior. Munroe combines adventure with detailed descriptions of mining, and his hero learns that character counts for more than money.
