Work Song (Two Medicine Country)

Work Song (Two Medicine Country)

"[A] novel that best expresses the American spirit." â€“The Chicago Tribune

â€œIf America was a melting pot, Butte seemed to be its boiling point,â€ observes Morrie Morgan, the itinerant teacher and inveterate charmer who stole readersâ€™ hearts in The Whistling Season. A decade later, he steps off the train and into the copper mining capital of the world in its jittery 1919 heyday. While the riches of â€œthe Richest Hill on Earthâ€ may elude him, once again a colorful cast of local characters seek him out. Before long, Morrie is caught up in the clash between the ironfisted Anaconda Mining Company, radical â€œoutside agitators,â€ and the beleaguered miners. As tensions build aboveground and below, Morrie finds a unique way to give a voice to those who truly need one, and Ivan Doig proves yet again why heâ€™s reigning king of Western fiction.
