The Vigilantes of Montana
Thomas J. Dimsdale
On May 26, 1863, William Fairweather and a group of young men discovered gold in Alder Gulch, in the Ruby River valley, the U.S. state of Montana.
By late 1863 the remote gold fields and transportation links were rife with outlaws threatening and killing at will.
With law enforcement unable to cope or even actively joining the outlaw gang, citizens of this remote part of Montana took the law into their own hands and formed the Vigilance Committee.
