Kevin Foley, CEO of Atlanta-based KEF Media, has written “Where Law Ends,” a historical novel that he hopes will set the record straight about the legend of the “Montana Vigilantes.”
Legend has it that the group of self-appointed lawmen made a heroic stand against corrupt sheriff Henry Plummer and his gang of thugs, who preyed on the gold mining camps on Grasshopper Creek and Alder Gulch.
Foley, who lives part time in Bozeman, says he became intrigued about the 1863-64 hangings after hearing the story from former Madison County sheriff Johnny France.
The video honcho began researching the story and found that Plummer may have been the victim in the vigilante rampage. Innocent men were lynched, said Foley, as the so-called vigilantes covered up their vile deeds.
Foley tells O’Dwyer’s his book is a “ripping yarn.”
Wyoming’s Pronghorn Press published the book. Foley promises autographed copies for $26.95 at www.wherelawends.com |
