Download or read book The Butte Irish written by David M. Emmons and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2023-03-20 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this pioneering study, David Emmons tells the story of Butte's large and assertive population of Irish immigrants. He traces their backgrounds in Ireland, the building of an ethnic community in Butte, the nature and hazards of their work in the copper mines, and the complex interplay between Irish nationalism and worker consciousness. From a treasure trove of "Irish stuff," the reports, minutes, and correspondence of the major Irish-American organizations in Butte, Emmons shows how the stalwart supporters of the RELA and the Ancient Order of Hiberians marched and drilled for Irish freedom---and how, as they ran the town, the miners' union, and the largest mining companies, they used this tradition of ethnic cooperation to ensure safe and steady work, Irish mines taking care of Irish miners. Butte was new, overwhelmingly Irish, and extraordinarily dangerous---the ideal place to test the seam between class and ethnicity.
Download or read book Butte written by Ken Hamlin and published by Arcadia Pub (Sc). This book was released on 2021-06-07 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Butte, Montana, began in 1864 as a small placer gold mining camp. By 1870, the placer deposits were depleted, and most miners left. A few remaining miners found significant silver ore in the nearby quartz lodes, but by the late 1870s, copper was the major ore in the district, and Butte became The Richest Hill on Earth. Thousands of immigrants came to Butte from throughout Europe to operate the underground mines, and the city grew to an unofficial estimate of about 90,000 residents in 1917-1918. The population of Butte slowly declined to about 35,000 residents when fewer miners were necessary after open-pit mining began in 1955. Today, Butte remains a city of great character and cultural diversity. The postcards in this book illustrate some of its history.

Download or read book Copper for America written by Charles K. Hyde and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2016-03-04 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive history of copper mining tells the full story of the industry that produces one of America's most important metals. The first inclusive account of U.S. copper in one volume, Copper for America relates the discovery and development of America's major copper-producing areas—the eastern United States, Tennessee, Michigan, Montana, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and Alaska—from colonial times to the present. Starting with the predominance of New England and the Middle Atlantic states in the early nineteenth century, Copper for America traces the industry's migration to Michigan in mid-century and to Montana, Arizona, and other western states in the late nineteenth century. The book also examines the U.S. copper industry's decline in the twentieth century, studying the effects of strong competition from foreign copper industries and unforeseen changes in the national and global copper markets. An extensively documented chronicle of the rise and fall of individual mines, companies, and regions, Copper for America will prove an essential resource for economic and business historians, historians of technology and mining, and western historians.

Book excerpt: This masters’ report argues that the role of the Butte Mines Band in its community, from funerals to celebrations of life for miners and their families, shows how life in Butte, Montana outside of mining was mediated by copper mining interests, but that the city was not a company town. This is primarily evident from financial support of the Band by Butte’s copper companies, but it is also part of a more complex story of corporate influence, unionism, and environment. Using a socio-environmental lens to look at how environment and human interaction work in concert to create social and cultural structures, norms, and behaviors, this study reconsiders the meaning of the phrase “company town,” and considers a scope of “studyscapes” to analyze sensory knowledge of Butte. These include landscape, workscape, soundscape, playscape, and deathscape. The Mines Band offers a confluence of these culturescapes that reveals a complicated web of influence on local culture. This report primarily uses archival research from the Butte-Silver Bow Public Archives in Butte, Montana. It builds on the historiography of mining, labor, recreation, unionism, and environment in the U.S. West. It also uses interdisciplinary methods by borrowing from ethnographic social sciences to consider walking as valuable historical method for place-based study. This is done in concert with studying sensory history. While historical sound and smell cannot be determined by present qualitative evaluations, the historian can revisit place to better consider the context for how sensory consumption may have changed over time. Chapter One details the extant scholarship on Butte and introduces readers to the theoretical frameworks for studying the Mines Band in a socio-environmental context. It outlines the problems with considering Butte a company town while offering a means to understand the complex corporate-cultural relationship in the city. Chapter Two focuses on Butte’s urban development and cultural makeup, outlining the several sensory landscapes of life in Butte, including soundscape, smellscape, playscape, and deathscape. Chapter Three details homes in on the Butte Mines Band and examines its role in the city, connecting place, mining, and death to cultural customs
