Synopsis

Over a century ago, two men dominated nearly all of America’s copper production, reshaping Butte, Montana—a town once abandoned as a gold-mining camp—into an international industrial center. William Clark, a banker notorious for exploiting the struggles of miners, and Marcus Daly, a resourceful man with an uncanny ability to locate valuable deposits, built vast empires and lived in opulent style, all while engaged in a bitter, intensely personal feud that endured for almost twenty-five years.
