West of Johnson County, and pre-dating it's 'war' by a half-dozen years, was another bitter Wyoming cattleman/homesteader conflict. Set amid the wild and beautiful land Buffalo Bill Cody later made socially palatable by changing its river's name from the Stinkingwater to the Shoshone, Jethro Spring again seeks fortune's breeze and reaps fury's whirlwind, this time by filing a public land homestead claim on a remote and unwanted corner of land claimed by an avaricious and lawless cattleman who detests thoughts of a hated nester on his land. Crisis On The Stinkingwater is fifth in the Valediction for Revenge series; tales of Jethro Spring who, this time, struggles for his mind, as well as body and soul. Can outsiders, such as Sam, and Lillian and August Mathers--who rally to Jethro's side--save him? - from Amzon
