A Hidden Tale: The Vigilantes and X. Beidler of Fort Benton

October 19,, 2023 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm

Lewis & Clark Library - Helena, MT
Free

Stories of Montana vigilantes often center on Henry Plummer and X. Beidler in Bannack and Virginia City in the early 1860s, but vigilante activity later in the 1860s in the booming and lawless riverport town of Fort Benton has received little attention.
Ken Robison, author of “A Hidden Tale: The Vigilantes and X. Beidler of Fort Benton,” will take you through the streets of the “Bloodiest Block in the West” and the “Hoo Doo Block” to unveil the hidden tale of lawman X. Beidler and the vigilantes in Fort Benton. These stories are told from Robison’s new book “Historic Tales of Fort Benton,” and copies of his book will be available for purchase.
