We are proud to share, with permission, Don Spohn's Great Lakes Copper Research journals. Don put his life's work of extensive research into these journals and wanted them put out for free, so as many people as possible could learn from them. He's given permission for you to print and share them for free, but never wants them sold for profit. It's a very honorable thing to do in the name of prehistoric research! 
On a personal note, it would be great if those that download & print these extremely educational copies of Don's life long work could send him a letter of thanks, for his great contribution to our pre-historic knowledge bank. He'll be 93 years old this year! He doesn't know about this, so a card shower of thanks would really make him smile! 
No money....... just words.   Below is Don's address: 
Don Spohn 7890 West Leonard Street. Coopersville MI. 49404

Journal 2016, Volume 12 #1-4
Journal 2017, Volume 13 #1-4

*Side note, each of these volumes is only 1 journal with #1-4 in a single edition.   At some point I will scan the copies that I have, convert them to PDF and add them here.  

*Between 2005 and 2018 Don Spohn created 22 wonderful volumes!
