Secret Geographies: Growing Up and Out of Butte, Montana

Secret Geographies is a memoir set in Butte, Montana, that vivid Western community created by - and ravaged by - copper mining. Steve Wing grew up torn between discovery and imagination, between exploring Butte and escaping Butte. Diving into what the '70s counterculture had to offer in that strange, dying town, he swerved from Evel Knievel to chocolate mescaline to climbing a roller coaster at midnight. And he confronted a mystery: Who threw the stick of dynamite under the hood of Grandma Helen's Cadillac?
