Leech, Brian James (Author)
Recent research on mining landscapes has focused on insiders (locals) and outsiders to these places, suggesting that residents generally hold a more positive view of mining communities than non-residents. The case of Butte, Montana suggests that scholars are right to emphasize this disconnect, but that the trends of optimism on the part of locals and pessimism on the part of outsiders are neither consistent across time nor uniform for each group. When the Berkeley Pit became the defining feature of Butte's landscape, it came to define outsiders' opinions about the city of Butte in general, pulling the two groups apart. Meanwhile, generational differences increased among insiders over the issues of heritage preservation and environmental remediation. One conclusion to draw from this situation is that those who seek to save industrial landscapes should take into account the constantly changing, often divided understandings of the built and natural environment on the part of these two groups.
