George W. Watson

Description

Frances Watson retells the story and history of her esteemed husband, George Watson. Watson was an influential cattleman, stockman, and rangeman, who helped secure grazing rights, served on advisory boards for different livestock and agriculture organizations, and was a rancher himself. Watson served a term as Eagle County Commissioner. Frances tells stories of riding on long cattle and horse drives, helping her husband in remote areas of wilderness, and the work ethic of a true cowboy and rancher. Watson sold his property to Leonard Horn, another well-known horseman of Eagle County. This manuscript was donated by the Horn family. Some pages have been edited or have text that is replaced.
