Reviving the Wild and Wooly Miles City Saloon Era
Walter P. McGuire chronicles a July visit describing a planned replica of 1870s Miles City. The project recreates Harry Bruce’s Red Eye and other frontier venues with staged gunfights, Indian dances, and a fake cattle roundup amid a crowd of thousands, highlighting the town’s turbulent past and its transformation since the railroad and buffalo slaughter.
