Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sketches of Butte, (From Vigilante Days to Prohibition) In writing these sketches, I have avoided, as much as possible, the over-written mines, courts and politics. I shall give a pen picture of a wonderful Western camp, the good and bad of an unusual people, the joys and horrors of the largest mining camp in the world, a city of many contrasts. The Butte of the early days is passing, and like many of what were once the frontier towns and camps of our great Western country, the picturesqueness of its life is passing with it, so that, even today, it seems necessary to make a narrative of personal experience or observation, as most old-timers of the "diggings" are averse to talking of early days, except in a general way. Perhaps it is because of a fear of throwing light on shadows of former days, - a time when life was reckless.
