The Buzzards Have Landed! is Roscoe Churchill’s personal account of how a British mining company muscled its way into a small rural community in northern Wisconsin to build a gold, copper and silver mine on the banks of the Flambeau River. Roscoe and his wife Evelyn, who are known in environmental circles as the “Grandparents of Wisconsin’s Anti-Mining Movement,” were in the middle of the battle from the beginning to the end.
