Featured in this lot is this First Edition of “The War of the Copper Kings” by C.B. Glasscock, 1935 This book tells a riveting story of greed and corruption, bribery and fraud, of insiders getting fabulously rich while workers were robbed. At the dawn of the 20th century, when Butte, Montana was the richest hill on earth, this was the great battle for the rugged Montana town, for the fortune sought by three men who fought for Butte's mineral wealth with greed and generosity, cruelty and compassion, cowardice and courage. In this astonishing battle, they used their fabulous wealth to buy courts, newspapers, politicians, banks, police, and anything and anyone that could help them and hinder their opponents. To get what they wanted, their money flowed like snowmelt through the mile-high city and eventually reached the nation's capital. At this time, Butte was the largest city between Minneapolis and Portland, and it was a wide-open town, born only recently in the rugged Rocky Mountains. Illustrated by rare historical photos, this book tells the story of Butte and the copper kings, a story of raw human drama and timeless historical significance.
