" A] novel that best expresses the American spirit." -"The
""Chicago Tribune"
"If America was a melting pot, Butte seemed to be its boiling
point," observes Morrie Morgan, the itinerant teacher and
inveterate charmer who stole readers' 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 "the Richest Hill on Earth" 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 "outside agitators," 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 he's reigning king of Western fiction.
