Immediately after printed, the Wyoming cattlemen objected and sued. The court ordered it destroyed. While the books were in the court's custody, a number were stolen and smuggled to Denver and later bound. For many years, the Wyoming Stockgrowers' Association, their sympathizers, and their descendants destroyed every copy they came across.

Description: Second edition. Illustrated by Arvilla Parker. xv, 136 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. 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.
