Book Description
May Arkwright Hutton became a rags-to-riches silver millionaire, a suffrage leader and was called by newspaper reporters, "the best-known woman in the northwest." At age 23 she talked 40 young Ohio coal miners into accompanying her to the gold mines in north Idaho where she became a cook. In 1887 she married Levi W. Hutton, a railroad engineer. The couple bought and helped work one-sixteenth of a little mine which became the famed Hercules Mine and eventually netted them over two million dollars. In 1900, before she acquired her fortune, she self-published The Coeur d'Alenes or a Tale of the Modern Inquisition in Idaho; a critical contemporary account of the mining troubles and their aftermath.
