From The Globe Pequot Press

Quantity:

Price: $10.95

“Dutch” Henry Ieuch and the outlaws of the Big Muddy Creek valley terrorized settlers of northeastern Montana and southern Canada with horse thievery, kidnapping, and robbery. “Long” Henry Thompson, “the terror of eastern Montana,” was a notorious gunman and killer, but his politeness in closing a saloon door led to his death. Con Murphy, ‘the Jesse James of Montana,” was hanged – twice – by a Helena vigilante group for crimes he didn’t commit. The amateur outlaws of Wickes, who attempted a mining payroll robbery, failed so miserably that the townspeople forgave them and actually lied in court to get them acquitted.

From rustlers and robbers to crimes of passion and the wannabe outlaws who couldn’t quite pull it off, Outlaw Tales of Montana uncovers the historical facts, lesser-known stories, and colorful rumors surrounding some of Big Sky Country’s most fascinating renegades.

By Montana author Gary A. Wilson. 210 pages. 6” x 9”. Softbound.
