The Sheep Shooters War and Sheep Wars of the Sierra Nevada and Thewest.
The Range wars are often a Western Movie theme but the real story is far more fascinating with more twists and turns than “A bucket full of worms”, did you know US Army had to come in to save Yosemite National Park from Sheep? These “ RangeWars” were tied to international developments energized by America’s new technology and caused cultural as well as economic shifts here in California and theWest. The little understood use of Native American agriculture in theWest was eaten down to the very roots and the effects are still being felt today over 100 years after these “Wars” ended. Todays effort to return public lands to their “Natural State” is a very complicated issue but the real “Elephants In the Room” are never addressed, here is the rest of the story.
