Most know that Hibbing was founded on iron mining â built, moved, and rebuilt to accommodate the pursuit of valuable ore used to make 130 years of American steel. But fewer know the story of how Hibbing became the first town in the nation to successfully defy the worldâs largest corporation more than a century ago. Or how the fighting spirit of the town, and its charismatic mayor Victor L. Power, led to achievements we still enjoy today.
That’s the story told by author Aaron Brown and independent filmmaker Karl Jacob (Wiiliainen) in their podcast serial “Power in the Wilderness,” which aired recently on local public radio station KAXE-Northern Community Radio, now available as a podcast at PowerInTheWilderness.com.
