Harry Sinclair Drago writes with authority and a sense of drama
about the bloodiest range conflicts in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico,
Wyoming, and Montana late in the nineteenth century. He details the
background and events surrounding the Lincoln County War of New
Mexico (1878–81), a violent struggle for economic supremacy
between cattle barons and merchants; the ironically named Pleasant
Valley War of Arizona (1886–92), a conflict between cattlemen and
sheepmen complicated by personal vendettas and old family
rivalries; and the Johnson County War of Wyoming (1892), a folly
that turned bloody when big cattlemen rode against suspected and
known thieves with orders to shoot. These pages are filled
with some showy characters: cowmen Charles Goodnight and Oliver
Loving; the Grahams and Tewksburys, western counterparts of the
Hatfields and McCoys; William Bonney, alias Billy the Kid, who cut
a swath in the Lincoln County War; and Ella Watson, said to have
been the notorious Cattle Kate Maxwell, after she was lynched for
cattle rustling.
