Book excerpt: Bisbee, Arizona represents the emergence of industrialism in the Far West, the perfection of mining technology by Eastern capitalists to tap and exploit wandering ore bodies that were difficult to find and just as difficult to follow. Bisbee become synonymous with paternalism - a "White Man's Mining Camp," a feudal state in the desert, where labor and management eventually clashed head-on forever tarnishing the reputation of one of the nation's foremost mining companies and a number of distinguished families. The fascinating Bisbee story is told here.
