Gang Crackdown: When Stuart’s Stranglers Raided the Rustlers
Wild West | Western ranchers treasured the memory of Stuart’s rustler cleanup for years. Eight years after Stuart’s raid, members of the Wyoming Stock Growers’ Association attempted to emulate his success by scourging the Wyoming prairie of rustlers, but their effort backfired and they became the inglorious losers in the disastrous Johnson County War of 1892. Granville Stuart got out of the cattle business after the disastrous winter of 1886-87. President Grover Cleveland appointed him minister to Uruguay and Paraguay in 1894. He died at Missoula, Mont., October 2, 1918. Frequent Wild West contributor R.K. DeArment is a prize-winning author of many Western history books, including Ballots and Bullets: The Bloody County Seat Wars of Kansas (2007). Suggested for further reading: Forty Years on the Frontier As Seen in the Journals and Reminiscences of Granville Stuart, edited by Paul C. Phillips; Montana: High, Wide, and Handsome, by Joseph Kinsey Howard; and A Decent Orderly Lynching, by Frederick Allen. This article was written by R.K. DeArment and originally published in the August 2007 issue of Wild West Magazine. For more great articles, subscribe to Wild West magazine today! Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6Tags: Wild West
