No Law and Order
by Haycox, Ernest
Reviews
Review this book!
Based on the true story of Henry Plummer, a sheriff who ran the outlaw empire in the country, Alder Gulch, the original title of this book, is authentic from one end the other. Jeff Pierce is on the run from his past when he meets Diana Castle who asks him to accompany her to Virginia City, and the action just jumps from that moment on. When Ernest Haycox was contemplating the writing of this book he consulted anyone he could who might possibly know anything about the Alder Gulch, Montana rush, and luckily he found a man who could describe in vivid detail every street, every business, every activity, the stage routes into the area and where a road agent might attack, whatever went on in Virginia City. Haycox also asked him how a respectable and single young woman might have made it in 1863, and the man wasn't sure, yet perhaps as a waitress, or a seamstress, or a household servant--from On A Silver Desert, a biography of Ernest Haycox. In Alder Gulch Diana Castle opens a restaurant in a tent. No Law and Order is a solid novel with solid historical background to be the underlying story line; but the characters Haycox creates to fill the action are just as solid and believable. You will become engrossed in each of their lives as they struggle to make it--just as each of us struggle in this mundane world of ours today. Highly entertaining, historically informative, a plain old good read I think you will like. Also published as Alder Gulch.
