Meagher Death and Vigilante Conspiracy Claims
Montana era history recounts Brigadier General Thomas Meagher drowned near Fort Benton after a night voyage. Gov. Green Clay Smith ordered mourning for 20 days and vigilante factions debated his demise. Conflicting accounts cite burial by vigilantes, possible confession by Ottier Letters, and statements by Dave Mack. Local figures like N P Langford, Jack Varney, and Coyle weigh in on theories, with some doubting accident and others asserting homicide.
