Helena’s Early Territorial Social Life and Legacy
In 1865 Helena rose from mining town to cosmopolitan hub as Virginia City waned. The tale follows social life, church customs, concerts, and a growing capital with officials like Chief Justice Wade, a telegraph trial, and a bicentennial of hospitality.
