VIGILANTES OF OLD MONTANA
was originally written over a year ago, but was held up for publication due to the subject matter being suitable for a "theme edition" on the Old West. This magazine covers thoroughly interesting studies of Buffalo Bill Cody, Jesse James and family, Lottie Moon, and of course, our articles on the Cowboy as he really was, not as how Holly-weird likes to portray him. This article shows how frontier justice came to pass in the mining camps when road agents and a crooked sheriff ran the show. Enjoy these Barnes Review well-written stories by internationally famous writers, and learn about the Old West without the hype!
Virginia City, Montana today, looks almost like it did in 1863. Except for cars on the streets, the place is virtually a living museum. During the summer months (Memorial Day through Labor Day) the narrow gauge railroad runs from Nevada City (Alder Gulch) to Virginia City. Here is an overview of the place where several million visitors come every year. Virginia City, Montana is only about 70 miles from Yellowstone National Park, so it is an excellent side trip for vacationers who want to experience something real, rather than fake!

Historical Marker at Nevada City. Nevada City is a Montana State collection of iconic buildings from the city location and also features some buildings moved here from other areas for display and preservation. A handful of patriotic citizens are responsible for this remarkable display.

A Fancy Hotel in Nevada City
Hotel, Boardwalk and Railroad Ticket Office
Barber Shop in Nevada City
Nevada City Train Station
Narrow Gauge Railroad between Nevada City (Alder Gulch) and Virginia City, Montana as it looks today.
We hope you enjoy this photographic journey of Virginia City and Nevada City. These places are truly a living museum to a bygone era. The permanent residents are few, but friendly, and enjoy their lives here. There are bed and breakfast and hotel services available. The place is packed in the summer months, but very deserted much of the rest of the year. Happy exploring and vacationing!
