Summary:Reviews of Books 667 Coeur dAlene with the Bunker Hill, as elsewhere, the environmental movement, while increasing costs to some degree, became the scapegoat for more fundamental issues causing the end of the mineral eranotably the exhaustion of the ore body, other rising costs, and cheaper foreign production.

Idahos Bunker Hill suggests powerfully the integration of the minerals industry into the national economy something that sometimes seems exceptional in Western history, dominated as it is, at least in popular thinking, by the regions cowboy folklore.
