Fire and Brimstone: The North Butte Mining Disaster of 1917 | Michael Punke

pick

It took time to read this nonfiction piece because these are my people and this 1917 story continues to be a part of who we are. The author gives the reader no break - think DiCaprio fighting a bear. Beyond miners trapped in fire 1/2 mile below ground, it‘s about copper, corporate greed, world war, unions, immigrants, biased politicians, and the intestinal fortitude of hard working people to live another day.

Fire and Brimstone: The North Butte Mining Disaster of 1917 | Michael Punke

I turned back to page 14 of my current non-fiction read and it‘s almost to gruesome to post. 1917 was a bad year! So if you read this, just pretend I‘m reading fiction for October.

marleed Documented in this book is advice we born of Butte stock often say and perfect for today - St Patrick‘s Day... Tap ‘er Light. ...It means Be Careful. It originated from tapping dynamite into the walls of mines. 5y

TheKidUpstairs Yikes! Gruesome is right! 5y

marleed @TheKidUpstairs @CarolynM I‘m lucky to have several books going right now because I can only read about 2 chapters of this one before taking a break. It‘s the history of my hometown so I should be prepared, but this book makes it very real. 5y

“We navigated past twenty-foot copper kettles imported from Europe. When I hosted brewery tours, the copper kettles were always one of the highlights. Beer lovers would ooh and ahh when I‘d explain the kettles weren‘t just for show. The type of metal, the way it was welded together, and its shape could greatly influence the taste of beer.”

Coppers were always outnumbered, so being a #copper only worked when people let it work. If they refocused and realized you were just another standard idiot with a pennyworth of metal for a badge, you could end up as a smear on the pavement.” #QuotsyFeb20
