Vigilante Days and Ways

Vigilante Days and Ways: The Pioneers of the Rockies and The Makers and Making of Montana and Idaho is a historical non-fiction book written by Nathaniel Pitt Langford. The book tells the stories of the pioneers who settled in the Rocky Mountains and helped to shape the states of Montana and Idaho. The author provides a detailed account of the early days of these states, including the struggles and triumphs of the people who lived there. Langford also explores the role of the vigilantes, who were groups of citizens who took the law into their own hands to combat crime and maintain order in the frontier towns. The book is a fascinating look at the history of the American West, and it provides a unique perspective on the people and events that shaped this region.1890.
