"[A] novel that best expresses the American spirit." -Chicago Tribune
A decade after he left Montana at the end of Ivan Doig's bestselling The Whistling Season, Morrie Morgan is back-this time in post- WWI Butte, the copper-mining capital of the world.
When Morrie gets caught up in the mounting clash between the mining company, outside agitators, and the beleaguered miners, he finds a unique way to give a voice to those who truly need one.
