Yes, early-day Helena Vigilantes really did hang miscreants from a tree. From 1865 to 1870, at least ten men dropped to their deaths from the limbs of a gaunt dead Ponderosa pine tree, which was located near the northwest corner of present-day Blake and Highland Streets. Above is the murderer James Daniels, hanged in 1866.[/FONT]
