Marcus Daly’s Utah Years Lecture

Marcus Daly’s road to becoming Montana’s copper king went through the silver mining camps of Utah. There, as a manager for Utah’s banking millionaires, the Walker Brothers, he developed the skills and “nose for ore” that ultimately made Butte, Montana into the richest hill on earth. With vintage images and primary source materials, Wahler’s lecture will discuss this little-studied period of Utah and Montana’s history. Given by Brenda Wahler.
