From the stately Queen Anne mansions of the West Side to the hastily constructed shanties of Cabbage Patch, Lost Butte, Montana traces the citys history through its architectural heritage. This book includes such highlights as the Grand Opera House, once graced by entertainers and cultural icons like Charlie Chaplin, Sarah Bernhardt and Mark Twain; the infamous brothels protested by reformer Carrie Nation, wielding her hatchet and sharp tongue; and the Columbia Gardens, built by copper king William Clark as a respite from the smoke and toil of the mines and later destroyed by fire. Through the stories of these structures, lost to the march of time and urban renewal, historian Richard Gibson recalls the boom and bust of Butte, once a mining metropolis and now part of the largest National Historic Landmark District.

Copper Camp is a Montana classic. First published in 1943 and long out of print, Copper Camp is available again, bigger and better than ever with 25 new historical photos chosen specifically for this edition. Copper Camp contains hundreds of brawling, bawdy, over-the-top, laugh-out-loud stories about Butte during the height of the copper mining in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Each story is told with keen wit, love, and appreciation for the world’s greatest copper camp and the people who lived, loved, played, and worked there. Writers for the Works Projects Administration compiled the stories. Their aim was to reveal “the wealth of human interest held within the folds of the ‘richest hill on earth.’ Instead of the Copper Kings, here are the kids and characters, ministers, miners, mothers, girls from the line, bankers, and barkeeps. Of such stuff as strikes, parades, politics and people – above all, of rawboned, lively, honest-to-God people – is a mining camp composed; and Butte, in the opinion of many experts, if THE mining camp. Copper Camp has been described as “a roaring human document that is as strong, and important as the town of Butte, Montana.” If you want to understand Butte, then read this book. If you want to experience the sheer joy of a wonderful book that takes you to a totally different time and place, then Copper Camp is for you, too.

THE LOST TREASURES OF MONTANA, Gold West Country-Vol. 2 Author, Peter Netzel The Lost Treasures of Montana is a series of books on the lost treasures that can be found in Montana, by region. The series is based on over twenty years of researching old treasure legends. This book contains details of locations of buried caches and lost treasures in Gold West Country, Montana. Counties covered in this edition of The Lost Treasures of Montana-GOLD WEST COUNTRY, Volume 2 are Broadwater County, Deer Lodge County, Jefferson County, Lewis and Clark County, Powell County, and Silver Bow County. Even though some regions have more lost treasures than others, all of The Treasure State's regions have an interesting history and intriguing stories of the characters who lived in the gold rush days of the Old West. Montana's state capitol, Helena, is located in this region. Helena was the site of one of the richest gold strikes in U.S. History, at Last Chance Gulch, in July of 1864. About 67 miles southwest of Helena, is Butte, another former boom town. Butte began as nothing more than a group of gold mining camps back in the early 1870's. Then, silver and copper were discovered. These discoveries brought in a flood of people and new companies to Butte. By the late 1870's, a large and bustling city had been born. While silver and gold were actively mined in Butte, it was copper that truly put Butte on the map. The stories take you back to the time of the Wild West and its gold rush days. You will meet the colorful outlaw characters who stole the loot, how they did it, and where it may have ended up. Most of the stories include maps, in case you wish to search for hidden treasure yourself! Details and background of locations of buried loot and hidden caches are covered in the book. Along with the many maps included, are rich details of the colorful history that paint a vivid word portrait of the history that took place in this section of Montana in the wild, exciting days of its gold and silver rushes. Author, Peter Netzel, explains - "I have been researching old treasure legends for twenty years and have been successful in pinning down the locations of most of the lost treasures in this region on topographic maps. I include these detailed maps with the stories in this series. In addition to pinpointing actual locations, I have even found a few lost treasures never before presented in books!" Portions of the Gold West Country region of Montana are where the Henry Plummer Gang is alleged to have operated. There were other outlaws active in Gold West Country in the 1800's and early 1900's also. The most common and repeated crimes involved cattle rustling; horse stealing; and robbing stagecoaches, banks, and trains. During the short reign of terror by Plummer and his road agents, it is believed that they hid much of their loot. (Some sources believe it more likely that they spent it as fast as they could on whiskey, wild women, and gambling!) Several of the treasures that are claimed to have been hidden by Plummer and other outlaws are said to lay in this region. Not all lost treasures covered in this book were the result of outlaws hiding loot. Some of the hidden caches concern lost mines and rich gold and silver ledges which were never found a second time. The purpose of this book is to look at all of these lost treasures and see if they could be real or not. Some may be doubtful, and some accounts seem to hold water. It is up to you, the reader, to come to your own conclusions. No matter what you decide, you will find the history of the Montana's Gold West Country interesting and entertaining. You do not have to be a treasure hunter to enjoy this book series. In the Lost Treasures of Montana series, you will even find a few lost treasures never before presented in books!

THE LOST TREASURES OF MONTANA: Russell Country, by Peter Netzel The Lost Treasures of Montana is a series of books on the lost treasures that can be found in Montana, by region. Covered in this edition of The Lost Treasures of Montana is RUSSELL COUNTRY, the fourth in this series of books. This volume covers the Russell Country region of the state, which is comprised of the counties: Blaine, Cascade, Chouteau, Fergus, Hill, Judith Basin, Liberty, Pondera, Teton, Toole, and Wheatland. It is a compilation of the legends of lost silver and gold mines in this region of Montana. Details and background of locations of buried loot and hidden caches are covered in the stories in this book. There are many maps included, along with rich details of the colorful history that took place in this section of the Old West in the wild, exciting days of its gold and silver rushes. I have been researching old treasure legends for over a decade and have been successful in pinning down the locations of most of them on topographic maps. I include these detailed maps with the stories in this series. In addition to pinpointing actual locations, I have even found a few lost treasures never before presented in books! Portions of the Russell Country region of Montana are where the Henry Plummer Gang is alleged to have operated. There were other outlaws active in Russell Country in the 1800's and early 1900's also. The most common and repeated crimes involved cattle rustling; horse stealing; and robbing stagecoaches, banks, and trains. During the short reign of terror by Plummer and his road agents, it is believed that they hid much of their loot. Some sources believe it more likely that they spent it as fast as they could on whiskey, wild women, and gambling. Several of the treasures that are claimed to have been hidden by Plummer are said to lay in this region. He and his accomplices were lynched for their crimes in the early days of Montana history. Years later, books were written averring that Henry Plummer was innocent of the crimes of which he was accused. Nonetheless, his life was cut short by vigilantes. Not all lost treasures covered in this book were the result of outlaw gangs hiding loot. Some of the hidden caches concern lost mines and rich gold and silver ledges which were never found a second time. The purpose of this book is to look at all of these lost treasures and see if they could be real or not. Some, I have my doubts about; and some accounts seem to hold water. It is up to you, the reader, to come to your own conclusions. No matter what you decide you will find the history of the Old West interesting. Stories of likely locations of hidden treasure covered in this book include: Chased To Montana, which explores the question of whether Kid Curry, his brothers, and the other gang members have loot stashed in the Russell Country region of Montana. Gold Butte Lost Lode tells of a rich gold deposit in the Sweet Grass Hills, at Gold Butte, the source of which was never found. It is said that every state that had a mining boom, has at least one tale of a rich, lost mine. Fergus County, Montana, has the legend of Kelley's Lost Mine. There are several intriguing stories of places throughout Russell Country where Henry Plummer, and his gang, had loot buried. Plummer could have stashed stolen loot in multiple caches. Henry Plummer's Lost Loot, Cascade Cache, St. Peter's Mission, Searching The River Banks, and Ever Hear Of Dearborn offer details of the locations of some of Henry Plummer's possible hidden loot caches. You do not have to be an avid treasure hunter in order to enjoy the books in The Lost Treasures Of Montana series. Anyone will enjoy reading about the colorful characters and rich history of Montana's early days.

This is the first book devoted to Montana's long history of industrial newspaper ownership and the consequences for democracy. The work also reveals the costs paid by owners and their journalists, whose credibility eroded as their increasingly constricted newspapers lapsed into ambivalence and indifference. The story offers a timeless study of the conflict between commerce and the notion of a free and independent press.

This biography traces the hard life and colorful career of "Iron Man" McGinnity from his childhood working the coalfields of Illinois to his death in 1929. McGinnity may have been the most durable hurler in the history of the sport, often pitching both games of a doubleheader. He averaged more wins per season in his 10-year major league career than any pitcher in history, and continued to pitch for two more decades in the minor leagues before retiring at 54.

Mining Childhood offers a fresh perspective on Montana history. Drawing from a broad range of archival materials and oral histories, the book offers a child’s-eye view of key events in Butte’s history and considers how social, political, and economic forces shaping life in Butte left their marks on children. With its rich stories, the book captures children’s experiences of school, play, and work by exploring their joys and miseries, their keen impressions of life in Butte, and the varied lessons learned. These stories illuminate the meaning and purpose of mining life in Butte: people came in search of a better life for themselves, and they stayed and struggled in order to build a better life for their sons and daughters—living with the hardships and dangers of mining life so that their children might have a life beyond mining. Children were, quite simply, Butte’s reason to be.

The author of the #1 New York Times bestseller, The Revenant -- basis for the award-winning motion picture starring Leonardo DiCaprio -- tells the remarkable story of the worst hard-rock mining disaster in American history. A half-hour before midnight on June 8, 1917, a fire broke out in the North Butte Mining Company's Granite Mountain shaft. Sparked more than two thousand feet below ground, the fire spewed flames, smoke, and poisonous gas through a labyrinth of underground tunnels. Within an hour, more than four hundred men would be locked in a battle to survive. Within three days, one hundred and sixty-four of them would be dead. Fire and Brimstone recounts the remarkable stories of both the men below ground and their families above, focusing on two groups of miners who made the incredible decision to entomb themselves to escape the gas. While the disaster is compelling in its own right, Fire and Brimstone also tells a far broader story striking in its contemporary relevance. Butte, Montana, on the eve of the North Butte disaster, was a volatile jumble of antiwar protest, an abusive corporate master, seething labor unrest, divisive ethnic tension, and radicalism both left and right. It was a powder keg lacking only a spark, and the mine fire would ignite strikes, murder, ethnic and political witch hunts, occupation by federal troops, and ultimately a battle over presidential power.
