“Echoes of the Past: The Hutton Legacy” by Deb Lish (Rathdrum); Xlibris ($19.99)
A little girl from a coal mining town in Ohio, May Arkwright made the decision to migrate West to the gold riches in northern Idaho’s mining country. Her life changed when she met train engineer Levi (Al) Hutton and found they had common childhood goals and dreams. They married on Jan. 17, 1887.
The Huttons became involved in the mining wars and Idaho labor strike of 1892. May became interested in the women’s suffrage movement, fighting for equal rights for women. From a small investment, they became millionaires twice over. The Huttons moved to Spokane in 1907, where Al built May a mansion. During this time, she became ill and died shortly after.
For the first time in many years, Al was alone. His dream became true as the formation of the Hutton Settlement started taking shape for many orphans.
They realized that the great joy in life was giving. Exploring the Huttons as partners makes their story significant to Western history as well as women’s history.
