And well into the twentieth century, Frank Bird Linderman sought out the stories of the people who knew Plummer--and ultimately hanged him. In 1920 Linderman completed a novel about Plummer's life, but it was rejected by publisher after publisher. They felt that it showed too much fidelity to historical truth for a public increasingly enamored of western dime novels. Eighty years later, Linderman's lively interpretation of one of Montana's most enduring legends is being published for the first time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlummer scarcely resembled the model sheriffs of movie and television westerns. Coolly calculating, he used his position as sheriff of Bannack during Montana Territory's first gold rush to organize a band of road agents who systematically robbed and murdered miners in remote areas. The highwaymen became so brazen that the miners felt compelled to band together and wage a vigorous lynch-law campaign to restore order. In 1864 these vigilantes caught up with Plummer and delivered their own brand of justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrank Bird Linderman (1869-1938) is the highly acclaimed author of the following works, all available in Bison Books editions: \u003ci\u003eIndian Old-Man Stories\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eIndian Why Stories\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eKootenai Why Stories\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Montana Stories of Frank B.
