Jail

Posted by on January 6, 2014

The Bannack jail was built in 1863 by the crooked sheriff Henry Plummer. He was briefly jailed there and then was  hanged by vigilantes in 1864  for his role as leader of a gang responsible for over 100 murders in the area. The first photo is from the early 1940s.
