The Ox-Bow Incident Mass market paperbound - 2004
by Walter Van Clark; Introduction by Wallace Stegner
First published in 1940, this is the classic novel of American frontier life and mob violence that powerfully explores the conflict between justice and primal human nature.
First line
Gil and I crossed the eastern divide about two by the sun.
From the jacket flap
Set in 1885, The Ox-Bow Incident is a searing and realistic portrait of frontier life and mob violence in the American West. First published in 1940, it focuses on the lynching of three innocent men and the tragedy that ensues when law and order are abandoned. The result is an emotionally powerful, vivid, and unforgettable re-creation of the Western novel, which Clark transmuted into a universal story about good and evil, individual and community, justice and human nature. As Wallace Stegner writes, [Clark's] theme was civilization, and he recorded, indelibly, its first steps in a new country.
