Miles Citys Wild Town Era Compared With Dodge City

Miles City once ranked as the United States second wild town behind Dodge City Kansas. The piece recalls 1876 to 1881 when bullwhackers buffalo hunters soldiers and saloons fueled riotous nights in Miles City with notable figures such as Sandy Lane Lee Lancaster and Henry Wormwood the Long Haired Hawk.

Chaos in Miles City as Bismark confronts Hank Wormwood

Eye witness recalls a late night confrontation at Kit Hardiman’s and the Cottage saloon where Hank Wormwood disarmed the violent Bismark after a tense exchange. Bismark surrendered the gun and was jailed for disturbing the peace, choosing to leave town within three hours. The narrative then surveys Miles City’s rough saloons, shootouts, and the town’s shift from a cowtown to a settled city as cattle roundups waned.
