A solid first-hand observational account of life in early Butte, Montana

Any who would understand history and life in Butte, Montana during the 1920s simply must have Mile High Mile Deep: it's more than just one man's memory; it's a solid first-hand observational account of life in early Butte, Montana. O'Malley was born in Portland but moved to Butte when he was eight, working the mines then becoming a respected journalist. His Mile High Deep is a strong memory which includes almost forty photos from the collections of the World Museum of Mining and the Butte-Silver Bow public Archives, blending local history with art to produce an outstanding account which fits as easily into the 'art' category as it does 'early Americana'.
