Montana Vigilantes 3-7-77 plus Henry Starr Outlaw

in this episode of wildwestfaces we take a look at the first law and order in Montana, the Vigilantes. As lawlessness was rampant in much of the old west the respectable citizens would often have to take the law into their own hands. Vigilantes groups were formed and wrong doers were given a warning to leave or change their behaviour before further steps were taken, usually at the end of a rope.
The second story is about the infamous outlaw Henry Starr, who beside leading a life of crime also became a famous movie star and lived the high life of a celebrity before once again falling into despair. We hope you enjoy this episode of wildwestfaces.

I wonder if any of those old movies survived history, probably not.

I have read that 3-7-77 represented the time given to leave town 3 hours, 7 minutes, 77 seconds…don’t know

Most of the .44 Special loads i shoot around Missoula, Montana run at 777 fps. Coincidence...? ☆

Here’s where not being able to read meant a distinct disadvantage that having the best weaponry of the day couldn’t surmount !!!

My GG Grand dad rode with Starr. There were a lot of crazy folks on that end of the family.

You know, when you talk about undesirables, it could be home steaders making a living. I know that both sides stole each other's beef. That has been what I have found to be the reason to be against bobbed wire. My point is, I guess who is telling the story. But you did a good job. Sounds a lot like the same stuff that happened in the Johnson County War for one.

[@griffhenshaw5631]

The starrs have a connection to many other west's outlaws

[@robdavidson4945]

My Grandfather Thompson was from Nowata. His family evidently knew some of the outlaws in the area. He was born in 1900 and came to Southwest Idaho in 1902. Ironically one of my Great Grandmothers was a Meyers in Arkansas.

Seems judges have been turning killers loose,for a looong time 🤔

[@griffhenshaw5631]

Placerville was hangtown.....California had a history of vigilantes.

Some people just get caught up in the excitement of robbing and can't seem to stop. Just like Jesse James they like that fast money.

The 6 pointed star/badge that many law enforcement wear go back to King Solomon.King Solomons seal,this star was thought to give him power over demons and animals.Solomon had business relationships with Hiram, to procure cedar for the temple Solomon was building.Hiram was a Mason,and these Masonic influences gained footing in Solomons kingdom,and beyond.THIS continues up until today,and law enforcement from the start was mainly to protect the business interests.Even today there's a superstitious thinking around a lawman badge and supposed powers.
