Description
Set in the copper mining town of Butte, Montana, in 1919, Work Song is a novel that explores the complexities of small-town life during a time of great change.
The story centers around Morrie Morgan, an itinerant teacher who finds himself at the center of a clash between the ironfisted Anaconda Mining Company and the beleaguered miners. As tensions build, Morrie uses his unique voice to give a platform to those who need one most.
