A Vast Amount of Trouble

Autor John W. Davis
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 sep 2000
In late March 1909, five sheepmen headed east from the town of Worland, in north-central Wyoming, driving five thousand sheep. A few days later the men and their sheep camped on the banks of Spring Creek, where they thought they had brought the herd to safe grazing. That evening, however, seven cowboys raided the camp and brutally murdered three of the sheepmen. In A Vast Amount of Trouble, John W. Davis recounts the events leading up to this crime, the gripping trial that followed, and the trial s aftermath, which was no less than to bring an end to Wyoming s violent range wars. "

Notă biografică

John William Davis is a retired US Army counterintelligence officer, civil servant, and linguist. He was commissioned from Washington University in St. Louis as an artillery officer in the 101st Air Assault Division. Thereafter, he went into counterintelligence and served some 37 years. A linguist, Mr. Davis learned foreign languages in each country he served. As a consequence of the Cold War and its bitter aftermath he wrote Rainy Street Stories, 'Reflections on Secret Wars, Terrorism, and Espionage'. He wanted to reveal not only true events, but also the moral and ethical impact of the secret world on real people. With the publication of Around the Corner, Davis expands his reflections on conflicted human nature to our present day traumas of fear, and causes for hope.
