Three Montana Trees and their Grim Legacies
A New York Sun letter from Butte Montana recounts three notable trees tied to violent history. The Alder Gulch tree near Bannack hosted public hangings linked to the Vigilante Committee led by ex senator W. J. Sanders, with about 15 men hanged over an overhanging bluff. A second tree stands in Butte, linked to the Daly and Clark mining feud. The Helena pine tree, famed as Hangman’s Tree, saw mass public hangings in the 1860s and 1870s, with the latest artistically depicted scenes and two men suspended in oil paintings at the State Historical Society. The piece notes dwindling remnants of the hangman’s tree, its stump near Davis and Broadway, and recalls early Montana justice before formal courts solidified.
