This new edition of Incidents on Owl Creek is the result of more than thirty years of research by author Mike Bell. Mike has been interested in the history of the outlaw Butch Cassidy since he saw the famous movie when he was thirteen. This history began as the search for Billy Nutcher, who sold Cassidy stolen horses, and for Jack Bliss, the man who led the horse thieves. It became a history of the long-forgotten horse thief war that has been overlooked because of the the Johnson County War of 1892, which dominated the press at the time and has held the attention of historians ever since.
The horse thief war was far more wide-ranging and lethal than the Johnson County War, covering parts of three states and killing nine men.
This book tells the story of Cassidy's forgotten years in Wyoming, and of the war to end horse theft, a war that nearly killed Cassidy.
This is Mike Bell's fifth Special Publication for the English Westerners' Society and the third book in his Butch Cassidy in Wyoming series.
