Description: This book chronicles the lawless early days of Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming from the 1860s into the 1880s, during which rough characters ruled the gold mining camps with violence and intimidation. The author, Nathaniel Pitt Langford, a pioneer himself, meticulously records the formation and actions of the vigilante committees that arose to restore order by meting out swift, severe justice to the most notorious outlaws and claim jumpers. A fascinating glimpse into the untamed spirit of the American frontier, this book examines the paradoxical collaboration between lawlessness and the law, necessary in the absence of any formal legal framework. Langford's vivid accounts of Wild West crimes are a testament to the strength of justice in even the most dangerous times.
