Description

"[A] book that best conveys the National character." –The Chicago Tribune “If America was a melting-pot, Butte appeared to be its boiling point,” sees Morrie Morgan, the itinerant instructor and inveterate charmer who took readers’ minds within The Racing Period. Ten years later, he steps off the train and in to the copper mining capital of the planet in its nervous 1919 zenith. As the riches of “the Richest Hill on Earth” might avoid him, once more a colourful cast of local heroes find him out. In a short time, Morrie is swept up in the conflict between your ironfisted Anaconda Mining Company, revolutionary “outside agitators,” and the unhappy miners.
