Recounts the emergence of Butte, Montana, as a world center of copper mining in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and as a flashpoint in the struggle between workers and their capitalist bosses. Tells of the takeover of Butte by mining interests, and their contempt and violence toward workers and unions, but also illustrates the solidarity of workers who organized against the bosses, having learned the hard way about laissez-faire capitalism.
