Fire and Brimstone: The North Butte Mining Disaster of 1917

- World War I-era Butte was a volatile jumble of antiwar protest, seething labor unrest, and divisive ethnic tension. Against that explosive backdrop, the worst hard-rock mining disaster in American history began a half hour before midnight on June 8, 1917, when fire broke out in the North Butte Mining Company’s Granite Mountain shaft. Michael Punke recounts the tragic tale and heroic actions of the miners who fought to survive. Punke is author of Fire and Brimstone: The North Butte Mining Disaster of 1917; Last Stand: George Bird Grinnell, the Battle to Save the Buffalo, and the Birth of the New West; and The Revenant: A Novel of Revenge. Now a resident of Missoula and vice president of Global Public Policy (AWS), Punke is also former United States Ambassador to the World Trade Organization.

Interesting, would have been so much better if it had showed the pictures he spoke about.
My grandfather, John McGuinness, was killed in this disaster. My father, Dan, had two brothers....John and Robert and a sister , Grace. All left without their father in Donegal Ireland. His wife was Celia and life must have been difficult for them. Naturally none of John,s grandchildren knew him but we do know that he was buried in Butte. I do have a photograph of my grandfather.....he was a handsome man.

This was a good talk -- as many people think that Montana was settled by the military or ranchers, and farmers. But, in truth, after Lewis & Clark, Montana was settled by mining. This was an interesting book - a lot of stuff happened ungerground. WIsh I'd know about this talk.
My grandfathers oldest brother died in this disaster. His name was Juho Akusti (August) Longi. In the dead list is wrong name.. there is ”Gust Longi” . he was from Finland / Tornio
11:59 I wish he didn't just power through it. Part of me feels petty about the inconvenience of bad audio for my listening pleasure... But another part of me feels like when discussing such a grave matter- we could show a little respect and get some clean audio.
Bashing William Clark seemed quite unnecessary and irrelevant… especially considering how much good he did for Butte, and how many prominent historical leaders did and do far worse.
I resent how many times he called Clark and Daly “creeps.” Maybe this creep should focus on Wyoming history, or something he can show more respect for.
Such great content but the static is almost unbearable. Is there any better version or repairable audio?
Thoroughly engrossing book. Couldn't put it down. AAA+.
Great job not showing any of the photos he references thru the entire presentation. Have to just wonder it looks like that he’s talking about while he points and waves his finger vaguely. You couldn’t of added them in post production or something?
I love this video .. very rich history ..
The audio makes this unbearable for me to listen to - what a shame.
Finally the story might begin to sort of start at 32:45.
Christ.
Fascinating
lest We forget.
Laura Ingalls Wilder- Wilder And listen to your dialogue when you get home. You have a sincere love of history and a nice voice for narration. But cut out the many, many uh's! It is very distracting.
Too many uhhs
I can’t listen to a speaker with this habit
It’s too bad because he’s a great author and I’m interested in this topic
