摘要
摘要
The Lynching of Cattle Kate (Ellen Watson) and Jim Averell by six prominent cattlemen filled the pages of Wyoming newspapers in 1889. The popular myth of the West was that Watson was a prostitute who galloped across the prairies and bartered sex for calves. For years residents of the Sweetwater Valley knew that these stories were not true. They knew that Ellen Watson's biggest crime was legally claiming a homestead on a piece of ground being used as a hay meadow by cattleman Albert Bothwell. Now, for the first time, an author has searched through the layers of fabrication and uncovered the true story.

Here's a new rendition of one of the West's most famous crimes: the hanging of Cattle Kate (Ellen Watson) and Jim Averell on July 20, 1889, on the pretext that they were rustlers--and of low moral character in the bargain. Actually, says Hufsmith, the hangings were part of a scheme to expropriate Watson and Averell's land, perpetrated by six members of the powerful Cheyenne Cattlemen's Association, which controlled every paper in which the lynchings were reported. Yet many knew that what was officially called justice was really murder, and so the debate has gone on through the years. Hufsmith, after some 10 years of tracking, sets the record straight.
