Butte Montana- A Mile High and a Mile Deep a Geology Lesson- Butte Mineral Museum

Butte, Montana - A Mile High and a Mile Deep... This was the legacy of the infamous robber barons who built America on copper. Butte has a rich history of life, death, culture and money... Known as the richest hill on earth, the Butte area has a fascinating geology described by Butte School of Mines geologist Dick Berg. The video tells of the harsh working conditions, and the melting pot of cultures coexisting to create one of the richest cities in America in the nineteenth century. This video was originally designed for display at the Butte Mineral Museum 2018. Since then they have updated the Museum. It is a wonderful place to visit at the Montana Tech Campus. https://youtu.be/VWYu87p7vMA?si=bGIhrLyn0Y_zOyU4
