DIMSDALE, PROF. THOMAS J.

The Vigilantes of Montana Or Popular Justice in the Rocky Mountains

Butte, MT: McKee Printing Co, 1945. 5th Edition. Hardcover. B&W Illustrations; This book is in Very Good+ condition and is lacking a dust jacket The book and its contents are in mostly clean, bright condition. There is some minor bumping to the spine ends of the book covers. The text pages are clean and bright. There are two ink stamped previous owner's name and address stamps on the front endpaper, along with an inked phone number. "Educated at Oxford (although financially unable to complete his studies) , Dimsdale had spent ten years teaching in Millbrook, Ontario, eventually being named a head master and acquiring the title of “professor, ” before heading out west. Dimsdale opened a subscription school in Virginia City in late summer, 1864. The local paper was supportive, calling education “essential, ” even though it might cause “some sacrifice of personal ease” to parents. Within a short time, The Post urged the community to take a larger step, making school a public affair, not private, and a burden shared equally by all citizens. The newspaper, in what appeared (at first glance) to be a rather progressive move for the times, also urged a proper education for women. The context, however, was that such an education would benefit women in their “all important offices of wife, mother and nurse. ”Interestingly, the Montana Post-Dimsdale connection soon moved beyond editorials concerning education. The young professor actually became the paper’s editor, and (in doing so) made his mark on history. Despite no formal education in journalism, Dimsdale was prolific. In 1865, he penned a lengthy series of newspaper articles on the history of Montana’s vigilantes. His boss, D. W. Tilton (who owned both the newspaper and the local book store) , compiled the articles into a book – the first book ever published in the Territory." (Missoula Current, Jim Harmon). Very Good+ .

At intervals during the past decade, the country has been electrified by the recital of some horror perpetrated by Indians on white travelers, and those, who, having journeyed to the Far West, had settled, intending to make the wilderness blossom like the rose."

However, McCulloch only had the exterior granite blocks from the original bridge cut and transported to the United States for use in the construction of a new bridge in Lake Havasu City, a planned community he established in 1964 on the shore of Lake Havasu. The only parts of the “New London Bridge” that made it to Arizona were the exterior masonry. The Arizona bridge is a reinforced concrete structure clad in the original masonry of the 1830s bridge."
