One of the most famous books on the cattle industry, growing out of the Johnson County War in Wyoming in 1892, which pitted the large, established members of the Wyoming Stockgrowers Association against the smaller cattlemen and squatters on the range. As the chronicle of one of the last great upheavals of frontier violence in the wars over open range versus fencing, its importance is great.
