13:38Now PlayingLearn about the Johnson County War from John Davis, author of “Wyoming Range War.” In April of 1892, a group of cattlemen “invaded” Johnson County, Wyoming with a hit list of men they intended to kill. According to the group, Johnson County was full of cattle rustlers that were stealing from them and they were looking to force them out. The residents of Johnson County argued that these were just a group of wealthy cattlemen who were trying to run out simple homesteaders for control of the land. What follows is a series of events that reached the ear of President Benjamin Harrison who is forced to send out the U.S. Calvary to stop the fighting. “Wyoming Range War” explores the timeline of events and Wyoming’s history of vigilantism.
