Maccallister Kingdom Come (2015)
“Shortly after arriving in the United States, he’d moved to Wyoming, where by homesteading and purchasing the adjacent land, he’d started his ranch, which he’d named after Skye McGregor, the woman he had intended to marry. Since leaving Scotland, Duff had been exceptionally successful. Over the years, his ranch had spread out to some 100,000 acres of prime rangeland lying between the Little Bear and Big Bear creeks.
Little and Big Bear creeks were year-round sources of water, and that, plus the ...good natural grazing land, allowed Duff to try an experiment—introducing Black Angus cattle. He was well familiar with the breed, for he had worked with them in Scotland. His experiment was successful, and today he was running 30,000 head of Black Angus cattle, making his ranch one of the most profitable in all of Wyoming.
Duff’s operation was large enough to employ fourteen men, principal of whom was Elmer Gleason, his ranch foreman. Cowboys had to be jacks of all trades, part carpenter to keep the buildings in shape, part wheelwright to keep the wagons repaired, part blacksmith, and even part veterinarian and doctor, so as to be able to tend to wounds and illnesses of animal and man.MoreLess
