The Vigilantes of Montana or Popular Justice in the Rocky Mountains

The book is in fair condition, with noticeable wear on the cover edges and corners. The binding remains intact, though the cover shows signs of age and handling. There is no dust jacket, and the pages are slightly yellowed, typical of a paperback from this era.
