Featured in this lot is this 1935 First Edition of “The War of the Copper Kings” by C.B. Glasscock, The Bobbs Merrill Company publishers Indianapolis New York. “The War of the Copper Kings Builders Of Butte And Wolves Of Wall Street", 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. Copper was the treasure, eagerly sought for wiring the modern world, and the hard rock below Butte was riddled with thick veins of the precious metal. Those who controlled the copper could make billions of dollars, 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. All the while the miners also battled, with fists and dynamite, either on the streets of Butte or far below the surface. 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.
