First published as a monthly serial in Florida Magazine 1902, The Iron Republic tells an extraordinary story of Mr. E. W. Barrington's sea journey in the late 1800's to Antarctica where he found a passageway through the massive ice wall, and a highly developed civilization, both technologically and socially speaking. "Either as fact or fiction, it is a rare story and presents an ideal of society and government that will make the average reader long to be a citizen of the newly discovered Iron Republic."
