This historical account chronicles the rise of vigilante justice in Montana during the lawless gold rush era of the 1860s. Thomas J. Dimsdale, a firsthand observer, provides a gripping narrative of how ordinary citizens took the law into their own hands to combat rampant crime and violence. The book details the formation of the vigilante committees, their pursuit of outlaws, and the eventual establishment of order in a turbulent frontier society, offering a vivid portrayal of early Montana's rough justice.
