Inhaltsangabe

Frontier Justice With a Vengeance! describes one of the most heinous crimes in the history of Montana patricide. Clinton Dotson, incarcerated and serving a ninety-nine year sentence for the murder and robbery of an elderly prospector, is convicted of masterminding a cunning plot to fake his own father s suicide, thereby exonerating himself. Over a hundred years later, the bizarre events, inflammatory press coverage, and court rulings continue to provoke debate. Was Clinton the victim of a revengeful plot perpetrated by his nephew and a drifter from Missouri, or did he conspire to have his father murdered in cold blood?In the thirty-two months, between August 1899 and April 1902, Clinton Dotson s life changed from that of an ordinary family man with nine children to that of a convict reviled by the press and public alike. For the first time, the case is presented in depth by Jennie L. Brown, Clinton Dotson s granddaughter. Working with public documents, letters, and family papers, Brown paints a vivid picture of the era, and provides insight into the lives of both her grandfather and her great-grandfather. Illustrations and photos, many never before published, enhance the narrative.
