Life and Times of Henry Plummer

About Life and Times of Henry Plummer

Historians have devoted much time and effort investigating Henry Plummer, the sheriff of Bannack, Montana, who was hanged by vigilantes on a bitter, cold January night in 1864. Henry's life tells the tale of a lawless West and the untamed, violent mining towns of the 1800s where shootouts and duals rule and life is worth only a handful of gold. Henry, a well-educated and handsome man, soft-spoken and refined, appears dedicated to the law but is capable of instantly shooting a man dead. When Henry Plummer becomes sheriff in Bannack in 1863, he has killed five men in self-defense. Hunger for gold dust brings every manner of men and with them come more robberies and murders. Rumors and suspicion become rampant, leaving no one untouched, including Henry Plummer, a man swept along by the tides of his time.
