The One-Dollar Mill: The Explosion That Swallowed a Name

A tiny Minnesota town sold a paper mill for one dollar in 1905, and that bargain set in motion a century of dynamite, ten million gallons of river water a day, and a mystery: a man walked into the Sartell mill on May 28, 2012, and the public record never records his name - what happened inside to erase him?
In this episode, we lay out the mill’s full arc from its incorporation on May 10, 1905 to the unexplained explosion on May 28, 2012, describing the people, machinery, wartime production, and routine use of dynamite that defined its operations - could an everyday procedure have led to a fatal, undocumented catastrophe?
