Johnson County War background

Johnson County War

In a picturesque grassland, a long-simmering rivalry between entrenched farmers and newcomers erupts into a catastrophic conflict, threatening to ravage the very land they all call home.

A range conflict in Johnson County, Wyoming, from 1889 to 1893, known as the Johnson County War, Wyoming Range War, or War on Powder River, was sparked by cattle companies ruthlessly persecuting alleged rustlers, many of whom were settlers competing for land, livestock, and water rights.
