Fargo’s riding straight into the fires of hell. Death Valley in the spring is still hotter than molten lead. But three hundred dollars just to listen to a man’s proposition is too tempting for Skye Fargo to pass up. Especially when that man—J.N. Slauson—turns out to be a woman… Julia Slauson ropes Fargo into hunting down her prospecting father, who walked into Death Valley six months ago and disappeared. With the sultry spitfire at his side, Fargo saddles up and heads into the sweltering no-man’s-land, where a gang of cold-blooded killers is waiting to welcome him with red-hot lead…

Winner of the Mining History Association Clark Spence Award for the Best Book in Mining History, 2017-2018 Brian James Leech provides a social and environmental history of Butte, Montana’s Berkeley Pit, an open-pit mine which operated from 1955 to 1982. Using oral history interviews and archival finds, The City That Ate Itself explores the lived experience of open-pit copper mining at Butte’s infamous Berkeley Pit. Because an open-pit mine has to expand outward in order for workers to extract ore, its effects dramatically changed the lives of workers and residents. Although the Berkeley Pit gave consumers easier access to copper, its impact on workers and community members was more mixed, if not detrimental. The pit’s creeping boundaries became even more of a problem. As open-pit mining nibbled away at ethnic communities, neighbors faced new industrial hazards, widespread relocation, and disrupted social ties. Residents variously responded to the pit with celebration, protest, negotiation, and resignation. Even after its closure, the pit still looms over Butte. Now a large toxic lake at the center of a federal environmental cleanup, the Berkeley Pit continues to affect Butte’s search for a postindustrial future.
