 "The Virginian", a seminal 1902 western novel by Owen Wister, took the side of the wealthy ranchers, creating a myth of the Johnson County War, but bore little resemblance to a factual account of the actual characters and events.Jack Schaefer's popular 1949 novel "Shane" treated themes associated with the Johnson County War and took the side of the settlers.The 1953 film "The Redhead from Wyoming," starring Maureen O'Hara, dealt with similar themes; in one scene Maureen O'Hara's character is told, "It won't be long before they're calling you Cattle Kate."
