Book Synopsis

"Prince of the American Turf and Mining King of the World"--P.A. O'Farrell

With business savvy honed in the West's rowdy mining camps, Marcus Daly rose from poor Irish immigrant to Gilded Age magnate. From the mines of Butte, Montana, to America's largest smelter in a town he also named Anaconda, Daly's Anaconda Copper Company made a fortune. He used it to build his dream--a Bitterroot Valley ranch and a horse racing empire that stretched from California to New York. Meanwhile, his gregarious and generous façade hid a sly manipulator, one locked in a battle for political dominance with rival copper king W.A. Clark.

With detailed research and more than one hundred photographs, historian Brenda Wahler peels back the layers of a complex industrialist, revealing his historic influence and legacy.
