Logging for the Company: Marcus Daly and Flume Logging Near Anaconda, 1883-1917
The fascinating history of flume logging that shaped the Copper City Anaconda, Montana, in its earliest beginnings, was built and held together in no small measure by the enterprising flume loggers who worked and lived there―as well as by the business moguls like Marcus Daly who employed them. But the flume logging business was legally complex and frequently physically and financially demanding. To stay afloat, flume loggers employed technological innovations, lateral thinking, and―on occasion―a little legal creativity to stay profitable. This deep dive into the most formative days of Anaconda contains the fruits of a wealth of historical research, as well as illustrative photographs, maps, excerpts from old newspaper articles, and much more. Enjoy this valuable historical look into the early days of flume logging in Anaconda that would help it grow into the political powerhouse that would soon change the fate of the Treasure State.
