War of the Copper Kings
Description
More than a century ago, two men controlled nearly all of U.S. copper production. This documentary tells the story of a 25 year long rivalry of egos and empires that shaped Montana’s economy and politics. Gold prospector turned investor William Andrews Clark was an ambitious businessman. Irish immigrant Marcus Daly had a “nose” for silver veins and built the Anaconda Mining Company, the most productive copper claim in the nation. At the height of the copper boom fueling America’s electricity and communications revolution, these two men used corruption and sabotage in their battle to out-do one another and control the industry.
