Butte America
butte was a shock to Ireland
,the underground miners lost the pride of being a miner to above ground mining
they changed the sheets every 7 days
you had to look at butte strikes as a cycle
the mines were the most dangerous in the world
after the strike things were booming
there was a lot of fear in the hearts of women
when the war ended the truce between the miners ended
lady of the rockies was a big statue
she was 90 feet tall
copper was a big thing
for generations men in butte worked underground
butte was a rough mining camp.
the Irish called it the american wake
whenever a letter came they all gathered
a lot of the land was owned by the company
at that time it was really smokey
people come with one dream but live a different reality
the smoke from the smelter wouldn't allow people to grow gardens
people who lived near there couldn't even go outside cause you could smell and taste it in the air.
no smoking signed in butte were in 16 languages
there were three people sleeping in the same bed but not at the same time.
it strengthened the not only the town but the country
you always had a partner
you knew everybody
one exception would be working underground
the men who were working underground earned respect
they had nightmares of working there
the company was known for controlling butte
a guy died of a fast few z on a dynamite
the mothers didn't have enough money to keep on going
the kids were all working different places
every mine was connected
a fire broke out miners ran for there lives hundreds trapped in tunnels with no exits
a 168 bodies were found
the miners when on strike and they even killed a man over it
miners were beaten shot and killed
in 1929 the great boom ended
a lot of people had to move and the mine blew up houses and people and destroyed neighborhoods
overnight the company anocanda lost most of its supplies
scabs were the people on the other side of the wall
Columbia gardens burned down but it was an amusement park
copper was used for many things
