Notes


First published in 1866 and drawn from a series of articles originally written for the Montana Post in 1865, the work recounts the pursuit, trial, and execution of Henry Plummer and his band of road agents, men accused of carrying out armed robberies along stage routes and isolated roads. Written close to the events it describes, the book reflects nineteenth-century attitudes toward law, order, and vigilantism in the mining camps of Montana.
