This is the scarce second edition of the first and "textually the most important book ever printed in Montana" [Howes]. "The first important book about outlaw types in the Rocky Mountain West" [Reese]. The 1866 first edition is rarely seen today.
"Perhaps no book excels Dimsdale's in presenting the picture of the lawless conditions that characterized the mining camps of the Rocky Mountain country. The author was editor of the Virginia City Montana Post and a participant in the extraordinary campaign against lawlessness. The book ran serially in the Post before being published in book form" [Adams]. It is "one of the most celebrated and important works dealing with the early occupation, upbuilding and civilization of the West...His is the first complete account of the group of desperadoes known in the '60's as 'Henry Plummer's Road Agent Band.' It tells of the reign of terror; recites the series of murders, stage coach and highway robberies, the organization of the miners into a committee of Vigilance" [Eberstadt].

Description:
University of Oklahoma Press, 1950. Softcover. Good. Two short tears at spine and some wear at edges. A defense of the actions of the vigilantes who wrestled control of Virginia City and Bannack from a gang of notorious "road agents" who terrorized the country, robbed stagecoaches and lone travelers, and committed countless murders. The gang was led by Henry Plummer who got himself elected sheriff of Virginia City District and Bannack. A group of citizens secretly organized a Vigilance Committee that enlisted the most law-abiding men in the area. The committee quietly went to work and, after a confession by one of the desperadoes, learned that Plummer was leader of the gang. What followed was the carriage of vigilante justice.
