Legends tell of the frequent gun fights and rough brawls that broke out over claims on gold or the few women who lived in this rough, boom town that was the capital of the Idaho terrority, which encompassed what is now Montana. Bannack was host to several saloons that kept the miners and townsfolk supplied with booze as they tried to drink away the bad days and celebrate the less frequent good ones. I hope you enjoy this reenactment during the Living History Weekend of what might have transpired in Skinner’s Saloon after a long, hard day panning for gold at the creek, or working at the mill to refine the precious metal. Thanks to everyone who let me photograph them during the Living History. Here is my tribute to all of you. You truly made the old ghost town come alive again!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carynesplin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/CarynEsplin-BannackLivingHistory-SaloonPortrait.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5866\" alt=\"Bannack Living History - Saloon portrait by Caryn Esplin\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carynesplin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/CarynEsplin-BannackLivingHistory-SaloonPortrait-620x414.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"414\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carynesplin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/CarynEsplin-BannackLivingHistory-SaloonPals.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5865\" alt=\"Bannack Living History - Skiner's saloon pals by Caryn Esplin\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carynesplin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/CarynEsplin-BannackLivingHistory-SaloonPals-620x414.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"414\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.carynesplin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/CarynEsplin-BannackLivingHistory-SaloonGold.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5864\" alt=\"Bannack Living History - Pay with real gold - by Caryn Esplin\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carynesplin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/CarynEsplin-BannackLivingHistory-SaloonGold-620x414.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"414\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.carynesplin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/CarynEsplin-BannackLivingHistory-SaloonFight.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5863\" alt=\"Bannack Living History - Saloon Fight by Caryn Esplin\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carynesplin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/CarynEsplin-BannackLivingHistory-SaloonFight-620x414.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"414\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carynesplin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/CarynEsplin-BannackLivingHistory-SaloonShot.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5867\" alt=\"Bannack Living History - Jake's stand - by Caryn Esplin\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carynesplin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/CarynEsplin-BannackLivingHistory-SaloonShot-620x414.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"414\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.carynesplin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/CarynEsplin-BannackLivingHistory-SaloonDrunk.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5862\" alt=\"Bannack Living History - Town Drunk by Caryn Esplin\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carynesplin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/CarynEsplin-BannackLivingHistory-SaloonDrunk-434x650.jpg\" width=\"434\" height=\"650\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.carynesplin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/CarynEsplin-BannackLivingHistory-SaloonCheckers.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5861\" alt=\"Bannack Living History - Checker Duel by Caryn Esplin\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carynesplin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/CarynEsplin-BannackLivingHistory-SaloonCheckers-620x414.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"414\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.carynesplin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/CarynEsplin-BannackLivingHistory-SaloonBarTender.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5860\" alt=\"Bannack Living History - Bartender by Caryn Esplin\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carynesplin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/CarynEsplin-BannackLivingHistory-SaloonBarTender-620x413.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"413\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.carynesplin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/CarynEsplin-BannackLivingHistory-SaloonBar.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5859\" alt=\"Bannack Living History - Bar tools by Caryn Esplin\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carynesplin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/CarynEsplin-BannackLivingHistory-SaloonBar-620x413.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"413\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.carynesplin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/CarynEsplin-BannackLivingHistory-RealGoldTest.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5858\" alt=\"Bannack Living History - Dusty's Real Gold Test by Caryn Esplin\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carynesplin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/CarynEsplin-BannackLivingHistory-RealGoldTest-620x414.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"414\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bannack, MT – Living History Tribute 4: Skinner’s Saloon Life was tough in Bannack, Montana, and the men were rough who lived there.
