Butte's Memory Book - Hardcover

by Don James (Author), C. Owen Sr. Smithers (Photographer)

For years people have said, "Someone should do the real Butte story." Actually, many books about Butte have been done. Some deal with the less inhibited and sometimes violent old Butte. Some dramatically describe the war of the copper kings. Novels have been backgrounded against the Montana city sprawled upon the "richest hill on earth." Although these books and many shorter pieces contribute to the history, some critics still lament that none has caught that elusive real Butte story.
