Description

This is a work of historical fiction. I have endeavored to balance the historical accuracy of places, dates, and characters with a reasonable portrayal of how the actual people might have lived their lives in what we now recognize as Montana's history. Using fictional liberty, I have depicted the character's personalities through their words and actions, just like in "real life." That, I believe, is the key to reconciling and understanding what really happened in southwest Montana in the early 1860s. The Vail family, Electa Bryan, Francis Thompson, Joseph Swift, and Henry Plummer among others in this story were actual people. We should understand that due to the complex natures of people and history, people made decisions based on equally complex motives and acted accordingly, just as they do now. We can regret that Electa never kept a diary, or, to our knowledge, never communicated to anyone why she left what was then Idaho Territory. The fact is that no one knows. Only God understands what motivated those who have lived before us. To judge them based on obviously biased writings, especially of their own time, seems unfair at best, if not criminal. The same Constitution that guarantees our rights should have protected those hung by so-called "Vigilante Justice." Today, few can appreciate the hardships of that wilderness life. But we can and should honor the endeavors of those who lived then by realizing and remembering that they were probably not as they have been represented in any book of history or fiction. Of course, there are no living witnesses to testify of what they were truly like. Only the land itself and a few buildings remain as mute observers of those who lived a very real, dangerous, yet exciting adventure in America's early West.
