The War On Powder River.

HELENA HUNTINGTON SMITH

Publication: McGraw-Hill Book Co, 1966, New York

First edition. Cloth, xiii [1], 320pp., frontis., foreword, acknowledgments, prologue, illustrated, map, epilogue, notes, bibliography, index. The War began to smolder in 1875 and at stake was nothing less than dominion over the new state of Wyoming. Cattlemen demanded control of the range. Farmers denounced the "invasion from Texas" as more and more hired gunmen moved into the state. Threats, counter-threats, and legal maneuvers were soon accompanied by shooting and the noose. Thoroughly researched and well-written account of the Wyoming range war which came to be known as the Johnson County War. Very good in price-clipped dust jacket, with light wear to the extremities.
