Folks, Granville Stuart’s Montana Strangler never (but once) wore masks. They struck swiftly and efficiently and shot or hanged the rustlers that prey on their herds. With concentrated violence, this vigilante force of 14 men too the lives of 28 hardcase killers and outlaws in a period of 14 days, finally killing the leader of the rustlers and burning their “Robber’s Roost” in the badlands.
