Summary
"Imposing Order Without Law examines the history surrounding nineteenth century American settlers in two remote regions-the slopes of the Eastern Sierra Nevada and the Honey Lake Valley-who used extralegal means to establish order in their communities. The book reveals the use and effects of group violence used to enforce community edicts which transformed the Native People's world into colonial outposts"-- Provided by publisher.
