Butte

In 1866, Levi Hainesa plan to remain on his farm in Vermont is destroyed by revenge. Fearing arrest, Levi flees westward to the settlement of Butte, a gold-mining boomtown where miners, sporting gals and men with shady pasts create a bustling Mecca. Levi becomes tangled in a fatal conflict between Eben Larabie, who runs the stable and denies being a former gunslinger; Gerrod Sharp, a ruthless ex-Confederate officer who intends to own the town; Jerusha, a prostitute and pickpocket; and Joko, a half-breed thief. Loosely based on historic events and people of an unforgettable era in the West, Butte is an intriguing tale set in a time when fortunes were won or lost by force of will.
