I was born there in 1940, left in the early 1960s, and now I visit it only through Facebook and real books, the most recent of which is your Lost Butte, received from Amazon yesterday.<br />It's a wonderful read, sometimes tapping into my nostalgia and other times reminding or teaching me about Lost Facts. <br />Best wishes to you,<br />Elma LongleyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600136984753905121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4520907669288432855.post-57153378316315585642016-07-10T07:29:12.874-07:002016-07-10T07:29:12.874-07:00Thanks for the great history!

They are a bit past that time (more 1920s) but Wide Open Town (Myron Brining) and Mile High, Mile Deep (Richard O'Malley) are fictionalized accounts that give a great image of the way things were. For the time up to 1906, The Battle For Butte (Malone) is an excellent scholarly history. John Astle's Only In Butte has vignettes from all over the time line, and Zena Beth McGlashan's Buried in Butte is a huge source of information. Hope this helps!

I've really enjoyed reading about him and his antics in archived copies of the Anaconda Standard. For example, he got chased out of the Collar and Elbow Saloon by a drunk and hid on top of a Meaderville car. Then there was the time he got beat up by a prostitute in pleasant alley when he went to retrieve some lingerie he loaned her. I wish I could have seen Butte at the turn of the century and now I'm going to go buy a copy of lost Butte! Any other sources of information you can recommend? Thanks, Lori SiegelAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12693315817175588170noreply@blogger.com
