Gold, land, jealousy, and murder - all play a role in this classic
tale of the Montana Territory. From dance hall women of "easy
virtue" to masked highway desperadoes, The Vigilantes of Montana
vividly portrays the rough beginnings of Montana's mining-camp
society, when the will of the people could lead without warning to
speedy public trials and hastily arranged executions.
Originally written in 1864 as a vindication of the Vigilantes who
hanged the notorious Sheriff William Henry Handy Plummer and his
band of road agents, this new edition features a foreword by
prominent Western historian R.E. Mather.
Was Sheriff Plummer a corrupt lawman, or a victim of overzealous
crusaders? Was Thomas Dimsdale an objective observer, or a secret
member of the Vigilantes with a one-sided story to tell? Mather
addresses these issues and offers new insights into the controversy
behind the legend.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Medical theory and
practice of the 1700s developed rapidly, as is evidenced by the
extensive collection, which includes descriptions of diseases,
their conditions, and treatments. Books on science and technology,
agriculture, military technology, natural philosophy, even
cookbooks, are all contained here.++++The below data was compiled
