Goodbye, Judge Lynch: The End of the Lawless Era in Wyoming's Big Horn Basin

Meer over het boek

Set in the Big Horn Basin of northern Wyoming, this narrative explores the lawlessness that prevailed after settlers arrived in 1879. With the influx of cattlemen eager to claim the land, an effective criminal justice system was notably absent, leading to rampant violence. John W. Davis chronicles the transformation of this frontier, detailing the efforts that ultimately brought an end to the chaos and established order in this remote region of the West.
