The Bearcat

Annabel Johnson

4.2/5 ( ratings)

Young Jeff, after failing the eighth grade, goes to work in the Bearcat, a Montana mine operation at the turn of the century. There he encounters the unsafe conditions, low pay and corrupt management that the older men have taken for granted for years.

Through the influence of Ben Thurston, the young schoolteacher, Jeff and the miners slowly realize that reform is possible. They hear that labor unions are mushrooming throughout the country, some formed peacefully, some by terrorist methods.

The Bearcat is the story of a few men and a boy struggling to achieve, by peaceful measures, the improved conditions so desperately needed by thousands of workers of that time.
