Terrible barbarities of range wars in the southwest territories
John L. Cowan recounts brutal incidents from range conflicts in the southwest. Cowboys attacked a sheep herder, chained him to a stake, and left him to die, with later revenge killings and duels. The piece covers clashes near Green River on the Utah Colorado line and later Navajo country, culminating in intertribal and government intervention. Eventually, homesteaders push into traditional sheep ranges as the Santa Fe line nears completion.
