Newly revised and updated! "Outlaw Tales of Montana" tells the stories of some of the most fascinating--and least known--badmen to roam Montana's ranges: "Long" Henry Thompson, the "terror of eastern Montana"; Con Murphy, the "Jesse James of Montana"; "Dutch" Henry Ieuch (and the outlaws of Big Muddy Creek); George "Big Nose" Parrott; and infamous Wild Buncher Harvey "Kid Curry" Logan.
From its beginnings as a railroad siding in 1887, Havre, Montana was a tough, wide-open town with plenty of saloons, gambling halls, opium dens, brothels, and cheap cribs. With the passage of Prohibition, it was a natural hub for smuggling illegal alcohol across the nearby Canadian border. Honky-Tonk Town tells the story of this wild and woolly frontier town.
Long George Francis: Gentleman Outlaw of Montana, is the fascinating account of the life of a little-known outlaw and latter-day Robin Hood of Montana. Author Gary A. Wilson captures the time period and his subject with an unflinching eye and meticulous research, creating a book for western history buffs everywhere.
Tales of intrigue in this book include unusual unsolved crimes, unidentified flying objects, spine-tingling ghost stories, well-documented sea creature sightings, and more. Based on historic accounts from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Montana Myths and Legends recounts several myths and mysteries from the Big Sky State's past, verifying some tales from multiple accounts and exposing some stories for what may have really occurred. From a haunted prison in Red Lodge to persistent rumors of bigfoot appearances, from whispered descriptions of the "tommyknockers" who help miners in trouble to a famous union organizer found lynched from a bridge in Butte, this selection of fourteen stories from Montana's past explores some of the Treasure State's most compelling mysteries and debunks some of its most famous myths.
