About this audiobook

Murder, Gold, Vigilantes, and Political intrigue. These were the forces that forged Montana Territory—and Wilbur Fisk Sanders stood at the center of them all. As a young abolitionist and lawyer, Sanders left the settled East to seek opportunity on the American frontier. Instead, he found a land where government scarcely existed, road agents terrorized the trails, and justice often depended upon the courage of ordinary citizens. In the mining camps of Bannack, Virginia City, and Helena, he became a central figure in the struggle to bring order to a territory gripped by violence and uncertainty. From the battlefields of the Civil War and the fierce politics of Reconstruction to frontier courts, vigilante trials, Indian campaigns, Chinese immigration, and the United States Senate, Sanders witnessed and helped shape many of the defining events of nineteenth-century America. Order Without Law a true story of courage and controversy, justice and vengeance, ambition and sacrifice.
