Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: "[A] novel that best expresses the American spirit." âThe Chicago Tribune
âIf America was a melting pot, Butte seemed to be its boiling point,â observes Morrie Morgan, the itinerant teacher and inveterate charmer who stole readersâ hearts in The Whistling Season. A decade later, he steps off the train and into the copper mining capital of the world in its jittery 1919 heyday. While the riches of âthe Richest Hill on Earthâ may elude him, once again a colorful cast of local characters seek him out. Before long, Morrie is caught up in the clash between the ironfisted Anaconda Mining Company, radical âoutside agitators,â and the beleaguered miners. As tensions build aboveground and below, Morrie finds a unique way to give a voice to those who truly need one, and Ivan Doig proves yet again why heâs reigning king of Western fiction.
