It took time to read this nonfiction piece because these are my people and this 1917 story continues to be a part of who we are. The author gives the reader no break - think DiCaprio fighting a bear. Beyond miners trapped in fire 1/2 mile below ground, it‘s about copper, corporate greed, world war, unions, immigrants, biased politicians, and the intestinal fortitude of hard working people to live another day.

I turned back to page 14 of my current non-fiction read and it‘s almost to gruesome to post. 1917 was a bad year! So if you read this, just pretend I‘m reading fiction for October.

“We navigated past twenty-foot copper kettles imported from Europe. When I hosted brewery tours, the copper kettles were always one of the highlights. Beer lovers would ooh and ahh when I‘d explain the kettles weren‘t just for show. The type of metal, the way it was welded together, and its shape could greatly influence the taste of beer.”
Coppers were always outnumbered, so being a #copper only worked when people let it work. If they refocused and realized you were just another standard idiot with a pennyworth of metal for a badge, you could end up as a smear on the pavement.” #QuotsyFeb20
Just because someone looks beaten down and worn, doesn't mean the right person can't make them shine again.
