BUTTE TRIVIA
By George Everett
Butte is unique among Montana cities—some
say it is unique among cities anywhere—and now
there is a book that proves it. Butte Trivia by longtime
Butte resident George Everett is packed with 720 eye-opening
questions and answers about the state’s most raucous
and rollicking town. From Butte’s wide-open years
to modern times, this book mines Butte’s richest
veins of astounding facts and figures. Of course, Butte
claims many Montana superlatives, including the state’s
first millionaire, most expensive road, and deepest lake,
and Butte may be the only city on the planet to boast
ringing rocks, flying cowboys, and a memorial marker
for a moose.
