Jeff Lockwood digs into history with John Davis, a Worland attorney and author of Wyoming Range War: The Infamous Invasion of Johnson County. You may have learned in school that the Johnson County War involved a group of hardworking cattlemen taking matters into their own hands to stop rustlers who the fledgling government had been unable to control. But there is another side to this story. In the most recent account of this infamous and violent conflict, Mr. Davis proposes that the Johnson County War was an invasion by mercenaries, hired by Wyoming cattle barons to kill settlers who were trying to make a living on the land. Lockwood asks what the people of Wyoming might glean from the past when it comes to contemporary conflicts in the state. Jeff Lockwood is a professor of Natural Sciences and Humanities at University of Wyoming. He teaches philosophy and creative writing. Filmed by UW Television for Wyoming Signatures and aired on Wyoming Public Television (September 2010). Producer: Mary Jung; Director: Ali Grossman; Cameras: Cameron Patey and Steve Costin; Audio: Norm Mabbitt
