Destination

Seeking a better life during the 1800s, the Johns and Davises travel to America from Wales and the Clancys from Ireland. Their stories intertwine in Butte, Montana, where the "richest hill on earth" promises good jobs. Here the families thrive and grow, enduring personal tragedies and witnessing first-hand the War of the Copper Kings, the Tong Wars, the Granite Mountain Mine disaster, the Spanish Flu pandemic, and two world wars. Based on the real-life stories of the author's ancestors, Destination: Butte, Montana brings the city's tumultuous early years to life."--Back cover.
