This is a 1912 printing of the 1890 “Vigilante Days and Ways” book. The book was written by Nathaniel Pitt Langford. It tells countless stories of how various bands of vigilantes sprang up in the territories of the West in response to the numerous gangs of murderous thieves and robbers. Desperate to keep their families, homesteads, and livestock safe from the gangs, vigilantes played an important role in the early judicial system of the territories. Nathaniel Pitt Langford (August 9, 1832 – October 18, 1911) was an American explorer, businessman, bureaucrat, vigilante, and historian from Saint Paul, Minnesota, who played an important role in the early years of the Montana gold fields, territorial government, and the creation of Yellowstone National Park. Langford was also part of the vigilante movement, the infamous Montana Vigilantes that dealt with lawlessness in Virginia City and Bannack, Montana during 1863–64. In 1890, Langford wrote “Vigilante Days and Ways” to chronicle the era of pioneer justice in the American Old West. The book has a blue linen cover with gold embossing on the spine. The book is in good condition and measures 8 1/4" X 5 1/2" X 1 1/2".
