In This bloody deed, author Ladd Hamilton presents a compelling account of the destruction of Magruder's pack train by road agents in the Bitterroot Mountains and the subsequent quest by Magruder's friend Hill Beachey to track the killers to San Francisco, escort them back to Idaho Territory, and then protect them from mob justice until they could be tried in court. Hamilton's imaginative characterizations of Magruder, Beachey, outlaw sheriff Henry Plummer, and a large cast of other historical figures in early Idaho, Montana, and California is based on his years of knowing the many and varied peoples of the West. Also underlying Hamilton's work is his insightful knowledge of the early gold camps in Idaho and Montana territories"--P. [4] of cover.
