Book Review: 'A Darkness Lit By Heroes' by Doug Ammons

The late 1800s witnessed the development of the telegraph, telephone, electric lighting and power, all creating a world-wide demand for copper. Prospectors discovered huge amounts of copper ore around Butte, Montana, and its mines flourished. Among the largest were those grouped around the Speculator, interconnected by a maze of tunnels and shafts reaching a depth of 3,700 feet below ground. This is the story (based on fact) of the Speculator Mine Fire of 1917, where 168 men died and 214 escaped.
