Since the days of the wild West, Montanans have struggled to be "tough on crime" with limited resources. During Montana’s early territorial years, "criminal justice" was almost nonexistent: a few towns had inadequate and chronically overcrowded jails; occasional prisoners were sent east to the federal penitentiary in Detroit; and vigilantes summarily dealt with others suspected of crimes. In 1871, the federal government funded a penitentiary in Deer Lodge that was turned over to Montana when it achieved statehood in 1889. In this absorbing book, Keith Edgerton provides a social history of the Montana Penitentiary, with a primary focus on its early, formative years. After statehood, Montana leased its penitentiary to contractors, who utilized cheap inmate labor to turn a profit for themselves and for the state. Warden Frank Conley became a regional political boss and amassed a personal fortune, using inmates for road construction and a variety of public and private projects. Eventually, charges of corruption led to his ouster by Governor Joseph M. Dixon and sparked a trial and heated controversy that resulted in Dixon’s political downfall. After 1921 the prison system came under full control of the state government. Although there were changes at the penitentiary during the rest of the twentieth century--and two full-scale riots in the 1950s--there was also a depressing repetition of corruption, neglect, and underfunding.

Headwaters County District Attorney Jefferson Kirk reluctantly agrees to assist John Sharp and the Sharp Ranch launch a recreational cattle drive business. Swollen mountain streams and washed out roads first plague the fledgling enterprise's trip into Montana's Big Belt Mountains. The adventure and intrigue increase when the cattle drivers encounter a religious/military sect led by Caleb Howe. This cult like group has moved to the Lucky Dog Mining Claim intent on establishing a new nation in the wilds of Montana. Kirk and Sharp must again rely on their wits, outdoor acumen and Kirk's creative legal strategies to extricate themselves and the cattle drive guests from danger. Montana Justice is the third novel in J.T. Flynn's Montana series. Readers familiar with Montana Pursuit and Montana Mirage will find Headwaters County Sheriff Ben Green, rancher William J. Sharp and the attractive journalist Heidi Singer together again in a new adventure. JOHN "J.T." FLYNN was raised on a cattle ranch in southwestern Montana. He has been a prosecuting attorney for many years. He shares his love and understanding of Montana's Big Sky country not only in his books but also through his work as a hunting guide and as one of the hosts of the Montana High Country Cattle Drive. Every summer, the cattle drive offers guests the opportunity to join Montana ranchers on traditional Montana cattle drives.

The author of Montana 1948 explores the early years of a powerful Western family in these “beautifully written” linked stories (USA Today). Larry Watson’s bestselling novel Montana 1948 was acclaimed as a “work of art,” a prize-winning evocation of a time, a place, and a family (San Francisco Chronicle). Justice is the stunning prequel that illuminates the Hayden clan’s early years, and the circumstances that led to the events of Montana 1948. With the precision of a master storyteller, Watson moves seamlessly through the decades and among the strong and hard-bitten characters that make up the Hayden family, and in the process opens an evocative window on the very heart of the American West. “An engrossing story of love, familial relationships, and secrets . . . re-creates the vivid beauty of Big Sky country.” —Booklist “Filled with rugged prose sometimes as biting as a northern plains wind.” —The Washington Post “Surprises and scenes of dramatic power punctuate the narrative . . . Throughout, Watson writes with ruthless honesty about his characters’ stunted dreams, unpredictable emotions and outbursts of senseless violence, showing once again that he understands not only the West but the untamed hearts that have roamed it.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Throughout history, and in todays times, there has always been conflict between the pursuit of law and order and citizens concepts of justice. Ideally, the two virtues should be served by a single authority but in the early days of Montana Territory, they climaxed in an ultimate test. Earnest citizens had to secretly unite to organize a vigilante committee and hunt to ground the ruthless band of outlaws headed by, none other than, Territorial Sheriff Henry Plummer who represented the only source of law and order in Montanas gold fields. This colorful chapter in Montanas pursuit of statehood was its first taste of real justice and its influence has had a lasting influence on Montanas concepts of law and order. The Montana Vigilance Committee was officially organized on September 23, 1862, and to this day, has never officially disbanded.
