- Title: Back Bar - Vigilante Vintage Series
- Description: Back Bar at Star Billiard Hall in Virginia City, Montana. Rich placer diggings were discovered in Alder Gulch in the spring of 1863 and the stampede of gold seekers was on! Sluices soon lined the gulch and various “cities” blossomed forth as trading and amusement centers for 5000 placer miners. Virginia City, the best known of these and the sole survivor, became the Capitol of the Montana Territory in 1865. This "very much alive" ghost town is frozen in time circa 1870. It is a remarkably well preserved and just 20 miles west of Yellowstone National Park. It is the true and original Old West, held within an incredibly rich area of natural beauty, recreation and history.
