Abstract
A biography of Montana attorney William Scallon is presented, with focus given to his work with the state's copper mining industry. Scallon was born in 1855 in Quebec, and eventually arrived in Montana in 1883. He would provide legal counsel for the Anaconda Copper Company and was later chosen as its president. As president, Scallon fought against the wave of unionization that came to Anaconda, Montana. After retiring from Anaconda, Scallon opened a private practice in Helena, Montana.
