The Ox-Bow Incident was based on a true incident that happened in Montana in the 1880s. It could have happened anywhere in the old West.

In 1885 in Bridger's Wells, Nevada, cattle country, some men managed to be elusive and cattle disappeared. The townsmen decide to get together for justice and form a posse to find these thieves.
Over a 24 hr period. three men were given no rights, judgment abounds and were brutally treated by intimidated men that made a quick decision. These men did not want to be left out of the majority, doubts or not. They did not want to appear to be timid or cowardish. They are manipulated by the situation of angry men, speeches that want them riled up. Five vote against it and some just sit by and watch it take place though they have a distaste for it.

A story of good, like Martin and evil, like Tetley and how a few regret their decision and it haunts them afterwards, causing some to come to a painful end.

Clark descriptions of every little detail helped paint the scene of characters and settings. He made you think about how people process and put those thoughts into action and once it is put into motion it is simply too crazy to put a stop to it.
