Richest Hills DE.

Digital edition material on Butte, Montana's industrial landscape — Western mining-history teaching resources drawn from research on the Anaconda Company's reach and the working-class neighbourhoods of the Mining City.

The Richest Hills Digital Edition was a teaching-resource project drawn out of my longer-running research on the Rocky Mountain mining frontier and extended to Butte — the "Richest Hill on Earth" that anchored the Anaconda Company's mining empire.
