Tucked between the Tobacco Root Mountains and Mount Baldy in southwestern Montana; Virginia City began in May 1863; when gold was discovered in Alder Gulch. Some 10;000 fortune seekers arrived; and the days of whiskey; revolvers; road agents; and vigilantes began. Boot Hill; overlooking the town; is a constant reminder of its rough; tough; and unruly past. A great number of mining towns have become ghost towns; but not Virginia City; thanks to the men and women who gave of themselves to establish a permanent town where families; schools; churches; businesses; and organizations would thrive.

We bought him a book first. then decided that they would be great Christmas gifts for the others. Its got a lot of cool. old pictures of Cumberland. and they spent a long time looking at them at the family Christmas dinner. and reminiscing over the pictures. and trying to remember where and when each was taken. and which ones are still there or not. My husband works with the author. and was able to get her to autograph them for each person. made an extra special touch to the gift!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy R.
