Skye’s been working on the railroad! Skye Fargo has never had a kind word for the railroad barons, but they sure do pay well. While playing bodyguard to a surveying team in Wyoming, Skye catches a glimpse of the famous “Orphan Train,” full of street urchins from New York City hoping to find families among the settlers of the west. Then without warning, a gang of desperadoes attacks the train and kidnaps the children. Led by Dakota Danford, the outlaws demand $100,000 from the railroad barons for the safe return of the orphans, and New York Herald writer Kristen McKenna. Hidden among the caverns known as the Devil’s Catacombs, the bandits believe they’re invulnerable from any rescue attempt. But they didn’t reckon on a confrontation with the Avenging Angel called the Trailsman…

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.
