Stuart's Stranglers: Montana Vigilantes and the July 4th War...
Granville Stuart, honored as “Mr. Montana,” played a pivotal role in the state’s formative years. He and his brother, James Stuart, were among the first to search for gold in the wilderness that would eventually become Montana. Their discoveries sparked the great Montana gold rush of the early 1860s after they wrote to their third brother in Colorado detailing their findings.
Granville was also actively involved in the bustling mining communities of Bannack in 1862 and Virginia City in 1863, where he was a key figure in the vigilante movement that quelled the infamous outlaw outfit led by Henry Plummer. Throughout his life, Stuart spent time in various industries, working as a sawmill operator, gunsmith, butcher, horse trader, rancher, and diplomat. Despite his busy career, he also served double terms on the territorial council, including one term as president. However, Stuart is best acknowledged for his contributions as a cattleman. He brought cattle to the Montana Territory in the early 1860s, and in 1879, he partnered with three others to establish the DHS Ranch, taking on the roles of superintendent and general manager. He set up the ranch headquarters on Ford’s Creek, not all that far from what is now Lewistown, Montana.

    Salvador & Luis did not "sense the danger". They were WARNED by either Stanton or Eddy that Foster had talked of killing them for food, so they left. Also, by then there had already been 2 murders of party members by other members, and by this point, adding 2 more, who were unresponsive & near death, probably seemed agreeable to some because of their disregard for their lives, but to others, it might have seemed like euthanasia. There were heroes & villains in this story. Most people fell somewhere in between. Foster may not have given a shit about Salvador & Luis, but Stanton did. Also, Eddy (one of the heroes!) later threatened to kill Louis Keseburg after suspecting that he had murdered people at the camp, including a child & Tamsin Donner, for food, but he never followed through on his threat. They were not in the U.S. They were in Mexico. The war with Mexico over territory, including California, was underway, but they were not yet under U.S. jurisdiction. That's why James Reid was never charged with murder. He was just banished from continuing to travel with the group. The group had to take justice into their own hands in deciding on a suitable punishment.

    I live in the Mohave Desert in Coachella Valley. If you look up in the sky on any given night you will see strange objects making unbelievable maneuvers in the night sky. There is a large group of people who go meteorite hunting in the desert on full moon nights. A lot of valuable meteorites have been found. There is a large tunnel system/caves throughout the desert. 29 Palm marine base and Joshua Tree national park are close by. Just a vast mysterious area. If you choose to go meteorite hunting at night by four wheel drive, make sure you are armed.

    Villa? !Que Viva! Everything else? 100% factual. I would also add that the introduction of marijuana was well underway before Villa was born. It drifted along the Gulf Coast from South Texas to New Orleans, where it fueled the creativity of jazz musicians. Yes, the very first white people in the US to "smoke pot" (at least, in cigarettes) were our cherished iconic west Texas cowboys. Prior to that, white enthusiasts used tinctures. "West Texas cowboys, well they's all around. Weed, liquor, and money--- how they load it down. So soon after payday, well it seemed a shame... " ("Me and My Uncle", John Philips. 1968) In addition, this is not the first time cowboys have been instrumental in spreading cannabis to the world. Cannabis was discovered and bred out during prehistory in Central Asia. It was spread by nomadic cattle herders who brewed beer, drank cow's milk, and used cannabis for its mind-altering effects. These people were the Indo-Europeans, from whom most modern Europeans are at least partially descended. Ever been stoned on horseback? You can't beat it. The cannabis revolution is about discovering our roots.
