From a Montana History teacher………”Teaching of Montana History is a mandatory part of the Montana elementary school curriculum and the exploits of notorious evil “lawman” Henry Plummer, “the Innocents” (as the corrupt lawmen who spurred the formation of the Vigilantes were known), the hanging of Plummer from the storefront rafter of a shop on Main Street old Virginia City, with the can on which Plummer was tenuously perched being kicked out from under him by “X. Bielder” (who was illiterate and signed his name with an ‘X’) are still colorfully lively in my imagination, thanks to an outstanding 8th grade teacher who made this history come alive 35 years ago. This patch does not come with velcro attached.
