Synopsis

This book is a compilation of original documents from the Montana Territory Fourth Legislative Assembly Special Session. The session was called to address concerns regarding the civil practice and revenue acts and to enact a military act and other legislation to aid the Montana Territory. Facing imminent Indian war and lacking clear military guidelines, the governor summoned the assembly to establish laws to define roles and responsibilities for military actions. The laws would also empower the collection of revenue to address the growing debt. The assembly members' responses and debates on the legal framework of these matters are presented in the compilation, along with resolutions, communications, and messages from the governor and council. This book is a valuable resource for historians, scholars, and anyone interested in the legal and political development of the Montana Territory during this pivotal time.
