Set in Nevada in 1885, The Ox-Bow Incident is a searing portrayal of frontier life in the American West. First published in 1940, it's the story of the lynching of three innocent men and the tragedy that ensues when law and order are abandoned. The result is an emotionally powerful and unforgettable story of the West that tells the universal story of good and evil, individual and community, and justice and human nature.
