Book Description
The Hutton Settlement in Spokane, Washington, is a remarkable embodiment of philanthropy, altruism, and stewardship. L.W. Hutton built and endowed his home for children, orphaned or otherwise in need of a secure shelter, with wealth gleaned from the silver of Idaho's Coeur d'Alene mining district. Herein is a chronicle of that unique venture, beginning with the story of Levi Hutton, his rise to riches, and the construction of the home's impressive buildings and pastoral campus. It reflects eighty years of change in the theory and practice of child care and is based on the Settlement's official records as well as press accounts and interviews.

Her life changed when she met train engineer Levi (Al) Hutton and found they had common childhood goals and dreams. They married on January 17, 1887. The Huttons became involved in the mining wars and Idaho Labor Strike in 1892. May became interested in womens suffrage movement, fighting for equal rights for women. From a small investment, they became millionaires twice over. The Huttons moved to Spokane, Washington, in 1907, where Al built May a mansion. During this time, she became ill and died shortly after. For the first time in many years, Al was alone. His dream became true as the formation of the Hutton Settlement started taking shape for many orphans. Levi (Al) Hutton died on November 3, 1928. May and Al played prominent roles in the Coeur dAlene mining wars. They realized that the great joy in life was giving. Exploring the Huttons as partners makes their story significant to Western history as well as womens history. Their legacy should live on forever.

Book Description
An adventurous single woman who knew how to cook, twenty-three-year-old May Arkwright moved — alone — to the remote valleys of northern Idaho in 1883. She opened a one-table restaurant for the silver prospectors near Wallace, serving her homemade berry pies and hot dishes. Before long, she was a well-known part of the fledgling mining district. May, a large, outspoken woman who favored low-cut, brightly colored dresses, scandalized the “proper” women of town. But her self-confidence and ease with people helped her make important friends among the miners, merchants, and railroad men who ate at her table. After she met and married local train engineer Al Hutton, the two invested in a mine upstream from Wallace. After several long years they struck it rich and moved to Spokane, where May spent the rest of her life working on philanthropic projects that still affect residents of the Pacific Northwest to this day. As related through the skilled storytelling of Mary Barmeyer O’Brien, this larger-than-life woman’s story adds a compelling new element to the history of the West.
