About this ebook
When we think of vigilantes, superheroes such as Batman and Spiderman immediately come to mind – ordinary men by day, and masked justice-delivering crusaders by night. In reality, this exciting concept, which sees good triumph over evil, is not so black and white. We live in societies governed by law and order, and we are taught to put our faith in the age-old systems in place. For some individuals and groups though, this is incredibly hard to do.
In this book, famous cases of ordinary-people-turned-avengers are explored. First we have the cowboys of the Wild West, dishing out justice in towns where the law was barely established. In many of these towns a power struggle raged between a Sheriff and the locals, each side unsure of exactly how to deal with the no-good scavengers descending on the Gold Rush towns of the old mid-West. With no faith in the law, and these newbies showing up out of the blue, causing trouble, someone had to take charge. In the case of the Montana Vigilantes, or the Scarlet Mask Society, they were more than happy to take out the trash. Whether they were dealing with Road Agents or Bounty Hunters, these men were hell-bent on keeping their domain crime-free, even if their methods were technically illegal.
