Download or read book The Lake County War written by Keith R. Ostling and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-09-15 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between June, 1874 and October, 1881 the residents of what is now Chaffee County, Colorado endured a prolonged period of the most extreme violence ever to occur in Colorado. In 1874, the area was part of Lake County, thus the name ""The Lake County War."" During this bloody conflict it is said more than 100 men were murdered including a judge sitting in his courtroom. Vigilantes forced many families to leave their homes and property to avoid being murdered. This book, though fictionalized somewhat to make it more readable, tells the true story of what happened. It is the fifth in a five-novel series featuring Chancy Flint, a smart, tough, highly principled young cowboy who is chained lightening with a gun. He's not a gunfighter. He's the type of man gunfighters stay away from if they're smart.
