THIS BOOK IS AN EXCELLENT ACCOUNTING OF THE PEOPLE AND EVENTS THAT REALLY MAKE THE JOHNSON COUNTY WARS. IT WAS COMPLETELY ABSORBING.
The writer spend time developing the characters and researching their history. The book goes into the "why" and "how" of the Johnson County War. It is highly entertaining for the U.S. History fans like myself. Do yourself a favor and read this book. You will not be disappointed.
Bill O'Neal's The Johnson County War is a true, historical count of a violent and bloody conflict in Wyoming's northern rangeland. One side were cattle barons and powerful politicians; on the other, homesteaders and rustlers. The range war was rife with lynchings, ambushes, invasions by hired Texas gunmen, and ended in fierce last stand and siege drawing in hundreds of combatants. Black-and-white photographs pepper this meticulously researched and presented dissection of the conflict, highly recommended for American history shelves and as captivating reading for anyone who truly wants to learn about the strife that wracked the Old West.
