Product Description
Laurie Mercier's hard-hitting study of 'community unionism' examines the tenacity of union loyalty and communal values within the confines of a one-industry town: Anaconda, Montana, home to the world's largest copper smelter and the namesake of the Anaconda Copper Mining Company. Mercier depicts the vibrant life of the smelter city at full steam, incorporating the candid, sometimes wry commentary of the locals ('the company furnished three pair of leather gloves ...and all the arsenic [dust] you could eat'). She documents the early history of the town and the distinctive culture of cooperation and activism that residents fostered in the 1930s and 1940s. Ultimately, their solidarity and discontent with the company converged in the successful 1934 strike and sustained five decades of devoted unionism. During the cold war years, Anacondans held to their communal values and to unions in the face of antilabor and anticommunist pressures, embracing an 'alternative Americanism' that championed improved living standards for working people, rather than unlimited corporate power, as the best defense against communism.Mercier chronicles the bitter struggle between two rival unions - the anticommunist United Steelworkers of America and the red-tainted International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers - that undercut the town's labor solidarity in the postwar years. She also explores how gender definitions - especially the male breadwinner ideology and the limits placed on women's political, economic, and social roles - shaped the nature and outcome of labor struggles. Mercier carries her investigation through the closing of the smelter in 1980, covering debates over the environment and the community's transformation into a deindustrialized, nonunion town. Underscoring the role of the community in molding working-class consciousness, Anaconda offers important insights about the changing nature of working-class culture and the real potential for collective action under the midday sun of American industrial capitalism. ...

3-0 out of 5 stars Poor, Downtrodden Women in the West:Victims?
I found the flavor of this book to be somewhat disturbing in that it consistently sought to portray women as victims of oppressive men--this is a tired philosophy as far as I am concerned.Yes, women were victims, but resulting from the norms of the era in which they lived, married, raised families and worked. My own mother would have been prohibited from keeping her job as a clerk at the local five & dime store in 1934 by the local clerks' union had she married--married women were not allowed to hold union-protected jobs.My mother and her love eloped and kept their marriage a secret so that she could continue to work and help raise money to start their new household.Unfortunately, her husband was killed in a car wreck 2 months after their secret marriage, and then the whole "world" knew of their marriage, but as she was suddenly single again, she was allowed to keep her job. Yes, women were beaten by their husbands, and all sorts of dire things happened in family life in Anaconda.However, there are just as many, if not more, happy stories of good families, loving and respectful husbands and employers.These stories are also important to ensure the presence of honesty in the mosaic that is Anaconda's history.

Unfortunately, women's stories although numerous, were most often limited to mere phrases or to one or two brief sentences--how much nicer and more valuable it would have been, I think, for the writer to have concentrated her researcher's energies on capturing more in-depth knowledge of these women.

4-0 out of 5 stars Anaconda:labor,Community, and Culture in Montana's Smelter C
There have been a few books written on Anaconda's rich history, but this book reveals areas "whispered" about but not previosly written about.As Ms. Mercier mentions in her book, it was a "City of whispers".The book covers controversial events, such as women working in the community, women's roles at home, and the male dominated working class.The book explains how the Unions came to be dominate in the community and why they were needed.It also covers the Union battles with each other for control. It also talks about the Urban Renewal Era and how the community attempts to survive after severe employment cut-backs as a result of the Anaconda Company's blunders in management.Ms. Mercier spent years interviewing people now deceased, and has added insight how things happen in a one company town. I think she tried to cover both sides of the controversies, but there were some areas that were skimpy with information.In all,it is good reading not only for locals, but for anyone interested in the roles of women in a working class community and the problems that arise in a "Company Town". ...

Excerpt: Big Sky Resort -The resort was the vision of NBC News anchorman Chet Huntley, a Montana native. Big Sky opened in December 1973 with a main base area at an elevation of 7510 feet (2290 m) above sea level on the eastern face of Lone Mountain (11,166 feet, 3403 m) the sixty-seventh highest mountain in Montana, and the seventh-highest mountain in the state outside of the Beartooth Range . The first four lifts at Big Sky were the gondola and three chairlifts. The enclosed gondola carried four skiers per cabin and climbed 1525 vertical feet (465 m) to 9040 feet (2755 m). The nearby "Lone Peak" triple chairlift provided the lift-served maximum of 9800 feet (2987 m), unloading at the bowl 1366 feet (416 m) beneath Lone Mountain's summit, providing a vertical drop of just under 2300 feet (701 m). The "Explorer" double chair served novice terrain just above the base, and the "Andesite" double climbed the north face of adjacent Andesite Mountain to 8700 feet (2652 m). This lift was renamed "Rams Head" in 1978, and replaced with the "Ramcharger" high speed quad in 1990. After its third season, Boyne Resorts purchased the resort in 1976, following Huntley's death from cancer in March 1974 an...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1844074 ... Read more

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles!Virginia City is a town in and the county seat of Madison County, Montana, United States. In 1961, the town and the surrounding area was designated a National Historic Landmark District, the Virginia City Historic District. The population was 130 at the 2000 census. In 1863, the area was part of the Dakota Territory until March, when it became part of the newly formed Idaho Territory. On May 26, 1864, the Territory of Montana was formed, with Bannack briefly becoming the territorial capital, Virginia City would quickly take that title from Bannack. In May 1863, a group of prospectors were headed towards the Yellowstone River and instead came upon a party of the Crow tribe and were forced to return to Bannack. Gold was discovered on the retreat trip when Bill Fairweather stuck a pick near Alder Creek joking he might find something to fund some tobacco. ... Read more
