Overview
In the early 1880s, desperate characters leftover from the fur trade began robbing arriving settlers in the wilderness of Eastern Montana and Northwestern Dakota Territory. Gangs of horse thieves sprang out of camps from the Musselshell in Montana, along the Missouri into Dakota Territory, up into Mouse River–Dogden Butte country and ending at Turtle Mountain. Cattlemen and homesteaders formed vigilance committees, including Granville Stuart’s Montana Stranglers, resulting in the violent deaths of fifty-four people from September 1883 to December 1884. They weren’t all guilty, and there were probably more. Author Ron Berget shares this thoroughly researched true story of the Montana Stranglers’ bloody pursuits throughout the northern plains.
