DESCRIPTION:The Montana Vigilantes\, as they have become known within the p
	opular nostalgia of the Wild West\, were almost immediately and are still 
	often hailed as heroes of the frontier in their brave efforts to fill in f
	or the American justice system in the wild days before statehood. In 1866\
	, English schoolteacher and recent arrival to Montana Territory\, Thomas J
	. Dimsdale\, published a passionate defense of the events of January and F
	ebruary 1864–The Montana Vigilantes!–which is held in the William Andrews 
	Clark Memorial Library’s vast collection of Montana memorabilia. Dimsdale’
	s book is among the most cited firsthand accounts of the Montana Vigilante
	s\, but this presentation brings to the fore his extensive commentary on t
	he disorderly emotional climate of Montana Territory that made the extremi
	sm of the vigilante violence possible. With this affective lens trained on
	 Dimsdale’s account\, Abby Gibson will discuss not only an implicit ambiva
	lence in his descriptions of the Vigilantes\, but consider the larger stor
	y of emotional containment and U.S. expansion in the Rocky Mountain West c
	ontained within this work.\n\nEvent Website: https://www.1718.ucla.edu/eve
