What is The Ox-Bow Incident (Center Point Premier Western (Large Print)) about?

This is a searing study of mob justice. The story takes place in the Old West, but it could happen anywhere, anytime that men of action let their anger goad them into taking the law into their own hands. Published in 1940, this powerful narrative was immediately hailed as a work of art. "The Ox-Bow Incident is a triumph of restraint and workmanship. . . . The tenseness that builds and eddies and comes back stronger is beautifully geared to the temper of each central character and the shifting emotions of the mob, as doubt, anger, stubbornness, physical cold, pity and revulsion hold them in turn," said Max Gissen in the New Republic. Ben Ray Redman described it in The Saturday Review as "A sinewy, masculine tale that progressively tightens its grip on the reader." And Clifton Fadiman summed up the verdict of all the critics when he called this modern classic "a masterpiece."
