Miami, Arizona, in 1917 was a copper mining town on the slopes above Globe, in Gila County, where the Miami Copper Company worked open pits and underground shafts. Wartime demand pushed copper prices up, and the district drew miners, smelter workers, and shopkeepers from across the territory and from Mexico and southern Europe. That same year labor unrest spread through Arizona's copper camps, and Miami saw strikes and walkouts as miners pressed for better wages and safer conditions. Residents would have known the town first as a company camp built around the mine, with its whistles, ore trains, and daily shifts setting the rhythm of life.
