About the work

Shane

Set in the Wyoming Territory in 1889, the film follows the titular character, seemingly a drifter with a mysterious past who becomes embroiled in a conflict between poor homesteaders and wealthy ranchers. The novel and film were both inspired by the Johnson County War (1889–1893).
