Though the towns are starved for entertainment, the Follies struggles to fill seats as it grinds from town to town.The richest hill on Earth: The city of Butte looks like a cancerous melange of smoky mine boilers and rudely constructed sheds when newspaperman John Fellowes Hall arrives in 1892. But Butte is the place to get rich. It is also a city full of stories, perfect for a journalist looking to make a name for himself. As an employee of mining titan William Andrews Clark, Hall will find himself deeply involved in the best story of them all: the fight among the Copper Kings.
