Let’s take a ride on Marcus Daly’s Road to Montana with author Brenda Wahler. Witness the making of a Copper King! Born in 1841 to tenant farmers, Marcus Daly came from rural Ireland to New York as a boy. Having learned the big city's harsh lessons, he traveled west to the gold and silver mining camps of California, Nevada, Utah and Montana. Then, a spectacular discovery in the Anaconda mine made Marcus Daly one of Montana's famed Copper Kings. We’ll meet at 2:30 pm in the Cottonwood room on the 2^nd floor.
