Dr. Bradley Snow, a teaching professor in Montana State University’s Department of History & Philosophy, explores the historic Coeur d’Alenes (aka the Silver Valley), home to one of the most productive mining districts in world history. Dr. Snow’s talk will endeavor to untangle the costs and benefits of a century of mining, milling, and smelting in a once-remote area that modernized with great haste in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and deindustrialized even more rapidly roughly a century later.
Dr. Bradley Snow is an American Historian. He received his doctorate degree in History from Montana State University-Bozeman in 2012. Dr. Snow's areas of concentration are environmental history and the history of the American West. He works as a teaching professor in Montana State's Department of History & Philosophy. His book on the Coeur d'Alenes, Living With Lead: An Environmental History of Idaho's Coeur d'Alenes, 1885-2011, was published by the University of Pittsburgh Press in 2017.
