Reviews
"Occasionally a book is published that has significance far beyond its apparent subject; it illumines a vast landscape, opening unexpected vistas and bridging unexplored lacunae. Sugh is the case with Gambling on Ore . . . . This book is not just a history of American mining, it is a book that mines American history. It deserves the widest possible reading." --James J. Rawls, The Journal of American History "Curtis plunges into the deep mining pits of Montana and finds a profound story about modern America and its relationship to the earth through extracting metal. It is a brilliant and yet moving story of people exploring and organizing, digging and polluting, to create our modern way of life. The writing is outstanding, the analysis is challenging, and the significance could not be greater." --Donald Worster, author of A Passion for Nature: The Life of John Muir, "Curtis plunges into the deep mining pits of Montana and finds a profound story about modern America and its relationship to the earth through extracting metal. It is a brilliant and yet moving story of people exploring and organizing, digging and polluting, to create our modern way of life. The writing is outstanding, the analysis is challenging, and the significance could not be greater." -Donald Worster, author of A Passion for Nature: The Life of John Muir, " Gambling on Ore is a powerful reinterpretation of western mining as an uncertain human relationship with the natural world and, at the same time, a necessary and foundational activity at the heart of a modern technological society-a mining society-dependent on metals and all of the technologies they make possible. Focused on gold, silver, and copper extraction in Montana, this compelling and beautifully written narrative weaves together the history of engineering and technology with environmental, business, and legal history to reveal how the unpredictable distribution of metals in the earth, and the economic, social, and physical structures Americans created to buffer those uncertainties, profoundly shaped the twentieth century and left powerful legacies that continue to transform local and global environments. No reader will think about mining in quite the same way again." --Kathryn Morse, Middlebury College, author of The Nature of Gold: An Environmental History of the Klondike Gold Rush, " Gambling on Ore is a powerful reinterpretation of western mining as an uncertain human relationship with the natural world and, at the same time, a necessary and foundational activity at the heart of a modern technological societya mining societydependent on metals and all of the technologies they make possible. Focused on gold, silver, and copper extraction in Montana, this compelling and beautifully written narrative weaves together the history of engineering and technology with environmental, business, and legal history to reveal how the unpredictable distribution of metals in the earth, and the economic, social, and physical structures Americans created to buffer those uncertainties, profoundly shaped the twentieth century and left powerful legacies that continue to transform local and global environments. No reader will think about mining in quite the same way again." -Kathryn Morse, Middlebury College, author of The Nature of Gold: An Environmental History of the Klondike Gold Rush, "In this important book, Kent Curtis reveals that much of our current economic insanity began a century ago when a handful of gigantic corporations transformed America into a 'mining nation.' Today, when reckless corporate risk-taking seems to be the new normal, the message of Gambling on Ore could hardly be more profound and timely." -Timothy James LeCain, author of Mass Destruction: The Men and Giant Mines That Wired America and Scarred the Planet, "A century of copper mining and smelting in Montana has left an ecological wasteland marked by arsenic poisoning, toxic lakes, and mountaintops scraped into rivers. Kip Curtis's provocative Gambling on Ore helps us understand how uncertainty was at the core of such mining practices. Beautifully written, Gambling on Ore offers a new approach to the environmental history of mining in the American West." -Nancy Langston, author of Toxic Bodies: Hormone Disruptors and the Legacy of DES, "Gambling on Ore is a powerful reinterpretation of western mining as an uncertain human relationship with the natural world and, at the same time, a necessary and foundational activity at the heart of a modern technological society'a mining society'dependent on metals and all of the technologies they make possible.

No reader will think about mining in quite the same way again." -Kathryn Morse, Middlebury College, author of The Nature of Gold: An Environmental History of the Klondike Gold Rush, "This is a very well-written, well-argued, and thought-provoking book . . . . Highly recommended" --T. S. Reynolds, Choice "Curtis's powerful analysis and wide contextual range should make this book appeal to a large audience of scholars in environmental history and the history of the American West, and its length, readability, and breadth of interpretation would make it valuable in graduate seminars in both areas. His innovative take on Montana's mining heritage should justify its addition to the library of anyone interested in the state's history. I hope this deserving book is read widely." --Eric C. Nystrom, Montana The Magazine of Western History, "Curtis plunges into the deep mining pits of Montana and finds a profound story about modern America and its relationship to the earth through extracting metal. It is a brilliant and yet moving story of people exploring and organizing, digging and polluting, to create our modern way of life.

Kip Curtis's provocative Gambling on Ore helps us understand how uncertainty was at the core of such mining practices. Beautifully written, Gambling on Ore offers a new approach to the environmental history of mining in the American West." --Nancy Langston, author of Toxic Bodies: Hormone Disruptors and the Legacy of DES, "...engagingly written and thoughtfully researched text offers a nuanced examination of changing social, legal and political understandings of natural resource ownership and use in an increasingly urbanized and energy-dependent nation." -Eleanor Mahoney, Pacific Northwest Quarterly
