Wyoming Range War: The Infamous Invasion of Johnson County ReviewDuring the preface, the author mentions that this book is the first one to handle the Johnson County War in Northeastern Wyoming in 1892 from the perspective of the people who lived in that county at that time. Having read a couple of books on this little known event, I can attest to that fact.
What results is a fascinating and well-written story with a number of new insights for readers who have read about this event in other books and an accurate and interesting coverage for both new and other readers of this event.
For those who don't know about the Johnson County War, in April, 1892, approximately 50 large ranch owners and their hired guns left Cheyenne, WY on their way to Buffalo, WY to kill the sheriff and the county commissioners and take over control of Johnson County. From there, they were planning to hunt down and kill the "rustlers" in this county. This was their stated reason for invading Johnson County - to end the "rustling". However, their real reason was much more complex and had to do with the ending of "open range" in Wyoming. Small ranchers were legally locating their homes in good spots next to water and good range. And, they were fencing in their land. This was causing problems (very similar to what was depicted in the movie "Shane" which is mentioned in the book).
For new readers, I won't go through how the story transpires, only to say that it is worth the read for anyone interested in US History. For readers who have read other books on the Johnson County War, let me say that this book provides the most accurate and most interesting depiction of the Johnson County War. It is for these reasons that I highly recommend this book.Wyoming Range War: The Infamous Invasion of Johnson County Overview
