Suddenly, the boy ducked behind the pile and hissed at his sister to do the same. A tall man in blue pants and coat examined the luggage and the children closely as he rode by on a chestnut horse. The boy said "Don't you know that's a policeman?" Marian and Ethan had just arrived in Chicago with their mother. Everything was unfamiliar and a little frightening. Like many country people of that era the children were nervous and suspicious of town people. Their mother had left them to watch the luggage while she looked for a means of transporting it from one railway station to another across town. Moving was not a new experience for the Wrights, but they had never moved so far. The family had lived in many different places in Michigan. Now they were going to Colorado. Eva Marian Wright was born August 13, 1902 in Cass County, Southern Michigan. It was hilly, very green, forested country full of clear, flowing streams and "lots of bugs", Marian remembers. Her father, Carlton Eugene Wright and her mother, Myrta (Hogue) Wright moved frequently doing carpenter work and sales in various communities in southern Michigan. The home Marian remembers best is the country mill her father bought. The mill was four stories high. The upper two stories were for grinding flour and the lower two were for grinding feed grist for cattle and chickens. The mill was powered by a turbine fed by flumes running from the three streams in the valley. It was a beautiful place. When the children were not needed to work in the mill they were assigned to fish in the nearby streams to supply meat for the family. Marian and Ethan never became bored with this assignment. Since Mr. Wright was not licensed to grind flour, most of his time was spent grinding grist feed for animals. Most of his business came in the fall, but a few farmers came during the rest of the year. The Wrights acquired two prized animals with the mill. One was a horse which was especially good natured. No one needed to even touch the reins to get him to town. There was, however, one place he would not pull the buggy. He had fallen through a bridge once and he would not cross a bridge unless someone walked across before him. The other prized animal was a tiger striped mother cat and her litters. They were essential in keeping down the rodent population around the grain in the mill. One of the tomcats liked to go fishing with the children. If they were slow to catch a fish to throw to him, the tomcat would wade out into the stream, hook a fish with his claws and enjoy his feast. School was only about 1 and 1/2 miles away, but when the snow stood 3-4 feet deep, it was sometimes difficult to make the trip. Nobody seemed to know anything about skis or snowshoes in that area at that time. At 5 years of age Marian started to pre-school, which in those days was called primer class. Children weren't expected to learn to read in primer class but Marian was. Her father had instilled in her a love for reading from an early age. Coal was expensive in southern Michigan, so the Wrights chopped a lot of wood for the winter. On the land adjacent lo the mill, Mr. Wright raised oats and a little barley and wheat. Occasionally, he raised buckwheat for cakes. When the crops were ripe, Carlton would hire a steam powered thrashing machine and its crew. Marian and Ethan were 180 �"l """' '1 '1 '1 '1 ' ' '1 ') J 1 ) J ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) J _) .) ..) ...) ...) ...) J ...) ..J ..J ..J J fascinated by the steam powered machinery and often would follow the thrashing machines from field to field to watch the crews at work. They can remember getting up at 3:00 a.m. one morning to stoke the steam engine for the crew. Always, Carlton had bees for honey and a good garden for produce. The mill and the garden provided for the needs of the family. A little extra cash, however is always useful. Ethan had a part time job which was the envy of other young boys in the areas. One of the neighbor ladies operated a bird farm. She had 200 kinds of unusual American birds, various game birds and exotic foreign kinds. The bird lady could not possibly fill all the orders she received. Ethan received one dollar per day for feeding, watering and cleaning cages. Occasional heavy rainy periods had caused floods which threatened the mill, but none did any real damage until 1917. A hefty flood that year destroyed all the flumes leading to the mill. Carlton said, "That's enough. We're going to Colorado." Colorado had been on their minds for sometime. Marian's mother had a cousin living at Tiffany who had been urging them to move out here. Carlton sold the place, boxed all their possessions and put the family on the train. Carlton himself went by auto by way of Wyoming to visit relatives before coming on to meet the family at Tiffany. The Wrights had never seen real mountains until they reached the plains east of Denver on the train. Marian still remembers that first day she saw them. "I couldn't keep my eyes off them. I loved the mountains from that first day I saw them and I still do." The family changed to the narrow gauge at Alamosa and traveled over Cumbres Pass to Chama and Pagosa Junction to Tiffany. Marian thought she knew quite a bit about farming, but one practice at Tiffany baffled her. Coming from the lush, green countryside of Michigan, she had never seen irrigation before. Mr. Wright bought Jake McJunkin's farm located just west of the present day slaughter house including his crop and animals. A year or two later Carlton acquired some ranch land several miles on west of Ignacio where Marian still lives. If you've visited Marian's house, you know it sits on a considerable hill. Her dad enjoyed telling visitors that their house originally was at no higher elevation than the surrounding area. They acquired an elevated view only because of the gumbo mud the Oxford/Ignacio area is famous for. Everybody who came to the house on a muddy day and cleaned their shoes, contributed to the building up of the hill on which their home is now located . Marian completed her sophomore and junior years here. The end of her junior year was disturbed by a dispute which seems quite ridiculous today, but which reflects the attitudes of that time. Marian and her classmates heard that one of their favorite teachers, Ravenna Groat, was being refused reemployment by the school board. Marian and Virginia Russell and others In their class met with the board to ask whether this was so. The board said yes, they had fired Ravenna Groat for riding a horse in riding britches instead of a riding Skirt. The junior class told the board they would not return to school if the board persisted in this action. The school board members doubted the students could afford to attend school in Durango, but most of them got jobs, saved their money and did manage to enroll in Durango for their senior year. Actually this was a wise thing for them to do as the Ignacio School was not accredited at that time. · ..J J ....) -..,,) 181 �Following graduation Marian attended a two week teacher's institute at Pagosa Springs and then took a stiff exam to receive a country teacher's certificate. This may seem like very little training (which ii was), but Marian says it was a stiff exam and many people had to lake the exam more than once to pass. Marian taught in various schools around the country. She loved the work, though conditions were often less than ideal. Some of the buildings were not insulated and had poor heaters. When Cedar Grove school was closed against Marian's objections, she started a "bootleg school" in her home on the ranch. "Some of the students were walking 7 miles to Cedar Grove. How could they go several more miles to another school? Some families would send one child to stay with me for a week and then they would take that child home and send another one to learn all they could for a week." The school Marian remembers with most affection was the school in Thompson Park just this side of Mancos Hill. "The students there were so intelligent and decent and nice. I really enjoyed the time I taught school over there." In 1928 the Frank Harmon family asked Marian to go with them to Michigan and to help take care of the Harmon children on the trip. Marian was very happy to do this since she had not been able to return to visit relatives of to see her birthplace since she had moved. On the return trip the Harmons stopped in Hamilton, Kansas, to see some of their family. There Marian met a young man named Bowen Worford. He spent quite a little time driving the Harmon kids around to see their relatives in the area and Marian accompanied them. Before she left, Bowen got Marian's address and wrote to her during that summer and fall. Bowen had lived in Montana for a while before returning to Kansas and was eager to return to the mountains. At Christmas time Marian returned to Kansas and she and Bowen were married. The following April they came out to La Plata County. Shortly after Bowen and Marian were married, Mrs. Harmon died. After a while the court asked Marian and Bowen to lake care of the two Harmon girls. The girls stayed with the Warlords until they were grown. Marian remembers with a chuckle the time their dog tried to "herd" Bowen's Ford Coupe. Bowen and Marian took the coupe over to Spring Creek to get a cow they had bought. Their dog, a shepherd and collie mix went along. One of them was driving the coupe and the other was out with the dog herding the cow. When the cow made a sudden turn lo escape, Bowen yelled "get her" to the dog. Somehow 'ale Shep's doggy brain got its wires crossed, apparently thinking Bowen meant the coupe instead of the cow. The dog made a ferocious leap and bit the tire of the moving car. Of course, he got thrown for a loop by the wheel and that was the last time old Shep tried to herd a coupe. Bowen died in 1967, but Marian slays on the ranch. It's in a remote area and there are times it's a little difficult to gel in or out, so many people have urged Marian to move to town. So far she has refused. She loves her animals and the wildlife and the peace and quiet of the land. Beyond that the place is full of memories of Bowen and her parents and of her first years here. For these reasons Marian's ties to the ranch are strong. We wish her many more years of happiness and peace.

Wright (Abridged) I was born in Red Wing, CO, probably southwest of Pueblo 35 miles. I was born there and stayed there until 1937; I was born in 1915. I grew up right around Rye, CO and Rattlesnake Buttes (that's well-named, because there were a lot of rattlesnakes there). My dad homesteaded. He must have homesteaded about 1910. At that time he was a forest ranger. I started school in Rattlesnake Buttes. We left Rattlesnake Buttes and went to Avondale, CO when I was a seventh grader, and we stayed there for five years. Then we went back to Rye, CO. We left Rye in the fall of 1937. My cousin and I came across here on horseback; we drove a bunch of horses. We were raising draft horses, at that time, and were selling teams of horses. My cousin Ralph Brier and I, we were over that pass ... what's the name of that pass? Anyway, the first day we got into the horse trade and traded until we were broke. We stopped and slept in a haystack that night, in Gardner, CO. The next day we went over Musket Pass. We probably had 40 head of horses: colts, mares, and broken horses, saddle horses We came over right above the sand dunes in the San Luis Valley. We stayed there the third night at a ranch, came on through to Alamosa, and stayed the fourth night in Alamosa. Then, one day, my dad started and brought seven milk cows alone to drive with the horses. I just blew my stack Well, the cows went dry on the way over here. We were going to this place over here on the Florida River; it was called the CJ Bar Ranch at that time. We stayed there, let's see, about five years. Then we went back to Pagosa, and I stayed there 18 years. I came down here 46 years ago this fall [2004]. That's all my time. I was all breaking horses, and I never had a tractor until I was 25 years old. They never had any. Tractors didn't come out until after World War II. I bought two little tractors; I thought I would get two. And, I thought it would take them what a horse could do, but they did what four horses could do. So it will be 46 years since I came here this November and I've been here ever since. I bought this place here in 1960 (I had leased it). I have this territory: about 800 acres ... lots of walking, lots of irrigating. I had registered cattle here, registered Herefords. I stayed in that and I had some good bulls, but then the exotic bulls started coming in, the foreign bulls, and we couldn't compete against them. Now we cross breed them [Herefords] with black cattle, and that's a disgrace to me but you have to do it. That's what the people, as well as what the feedlots want. My father was John Washington Wright, and he was born and raised in Wentmore, CO. My mother's maiden name was Ethel Lois Churchill. (My middle name is Churchill, and I am a fourth cousin of Winston Churchill.) She was raised in Wisconsin. She came to Colorado and got her degree to teach at the teachers' school in Wentmore; where she and my dad met. My father was a forest ranger, then he homesteaded a place southeast of Walsenburg out in the dry land around Rattlesnake Buttes. It seemed like I was there forever. But, it was well named: lots of rattlesnakes. We lost three wean-er colts (suckling colts). They are quite inquisitive and they see something. An old horse knows the buzzing of that tail, the rattling, like a person and it will just scare you to death. But the colts, they don't know yet, they're real inquisitive and they'll go sniffing around. Killed three of them. �Page 2 of 4 I have been in the cattle business all my life. I tried shearing sheep here on this place once, but coyotes ... coyotes and dogs. So, one year I got rid of them [the sheep] and got my cattle back. We had a permit, east of Bayfield, for about 1,200 acres. We had 226 head of horse, and I sold that ranch. I sold it because I was hard up: couldn't make ends meet. It wasn't much. You couldn't raise a calf for what you'd get out of it. So, I stayed here and had a chance to sell that place up there for a crazy number: a million and a half [dollars]. That seems crazy, don't it? That was in ... right recently ... about 1998, something like that. I was able to pay back some old debts, but I still wanted to raise cattle. I gave half of the ranch to my youngest son, and this half I've kept after and I will give over to my two grandsons (they're both grown men, now). I also have a great-grandson. Four generations on this ranch, the Wright Ranch. It's still known as the Spanish Forks Ranch, because that's what it was when I bought it. The name came from a man that lived in Spanish Forks, Utah. He loaned money on this place some way or another and foreclosed on it. So, he called it the Spanish Forks Ranch and that was in the 1920s. I have two sons. I had a daughter, but she passed away. My oldest son lives in New Mexico, just on the other side of the line. And, Wayne, my other son, lives here. My oldest son has been more into construction. He's living down here, and he had a heart attack about four years ago. He's getting old too, you know. I'll be 89 this fall, and I feel like a kid. I can't walk; I get to where my legs give out. You've got to have a good spirit. It's kept me going from the times when I thought I was going to lose everything. I believe in the Lord, and I trust in the Lord to see me out just as he saw me in. My mother was a Baptist. My father was a Presbyterian. So, I'm a Baptist now, and there're a lot of differences among Baptists. In 1939, I married and went on my own. But, in 1942 I lost her (she passed away), so I went back home in Pagosa for two or three years. Then, I married a girl and we lived together until she passed away. Then, I met this gal and we've lived together for the past ten years, almost eleven. She's my third wife. Third time's a charm. But, I had to get married both times ... I sold mostly wean-er stock. I sold the weaning calves off of the cows, generally. Somebody else put them in a feedlot. My cattle always did good in the feedlot. I went for the stretch-ier type of beef, rougher type cattle. My dad was more of a smooth, pretty yellow [cattle] feller. But, I thought a Hereford was supposed to be good and wide, so I bred them to be good and wide. Some of the Herefords went to a pretty yellow-red, and they went smaller and smaller. A 1,200-pound bull would be a mature bull. I have cows that are 1,200 pounds. The bulls I used as sires I bought out of Canada, and those are big type cattle, good-doing cattle. They could stand bad weather and everything. So, I had a man in Washington who I bought the bulls through. The Anxiety Fourth was a bull, purebred breeder out in Hereford. But, they went for the short-type. The first Anxiety Fourth were good cattle, but the breeders kept getting them pretty and yellow, and fat and easy. But we don't want fat ... we want muscle. That's how I built cattle: with muscle gain and not fat gain. You don't want fat, because you throw it away. That's what the cattle are today. The Limousine and Charle are both French cattle, and that's what they went for. The Americans learned from those breeders in foreign countries that you've got to raise �Page 3 of 4 muscle instead of fat. The muscle is what you eat and what's good for you. The fat you supposed to throw away. The feedlots are mostly in eastern Colorado, and down through the Arkansas Valley there are lots of feedlots. But my cattle, well it depended on who bought them. A man in Pagosa bought mine and would sell them to the feedlot. They gained 3 1/10 pounds per day on grass all summer long. So, he bought my steers, but he wanted to get them smaller. He put less into them, but we still raised good cattle. We've had to sell off our cattle: two years ago there was not feed in this country, and you couldn't afford to ship it in; it made it too high. The government finally brought it to Alamosa, but that cost us $25 a ton to get it here besides what it already cost. So, that didn't go over very big. Now, the cattle are going out more and they're going to the feedlots. There are not many fed around here: the winters are too bad for them. Down towards Farmington, there's a feedlot or two. Some of them learned that one of the real secrets of raising tender meat is to butcher cattle when ... If they're in a storm, they're going to be tough. That meat is going to be a little tougher than if the weather is good. *** I can remember when I was first going to school. .. the first day of school with my sister. We rode horses there; you didn't dare walk on account of the prairie wolves. The prairie wolf is a smaller wolf than the timber wolf, but they're just as vicious. I remember when I hadn't even gone to school yet, my uncle had trapped one and it broke away from the trap. He and my dad tracked it and I got to go along with them on a horse beside them. I could just barely hold on to the horse. They finally come to it and shot him, and I went over and picked up his tail. It went, "Grrrruff." They said I went and jumped up on my horse. It scared me half to death, and I was about 6 years old (first grader). But, we tracked him. I was on a horse myself; he had a small horse. I learned to ride when I was about five years old ... five or six years old. I learned to ride a horse when I went to school (I started when I was five years old, six that October). It was a one-room schoolhouse. It's still there. My wife and I drove over there, I was writing the story of my life, and I wanted to show her some of those places. That schoolhouse is still standing. That was about three or four years ago. It is in Rattlesnake Buttes. There's a South Rattlesnake Butte and North Rattlesnake Butte. This is North Rattlesnake Butte, near where the post office was. But at the other one, there were rattlesnakes ... they were everywhere. Kids learned to stay out of the brush or anything. My dad homesteaded two canyons close in, but it was right next to the prairie. We had two horses when we came here; we left in the fall of '37. My cousin and I rode; we came over the top of Musket Pass. We couldn't go over Wolf Creek, because Wolf Creek was closed then (they were building a new road). So, we had to go over to Cumbres Pass; which is over here down in New Mexico. We got as far as Ananeda and we heard of a bad storm on the Pass, so my dad put me, the horses and the seven old milk cows on the train. I came over the rest of the way through Lumberton, NM back up right over by the river here, the Pine River (there were some �Page 4 of 4 loading pens there). They got there at 1:00 in the morning, and all day that day and through the next night (it was two days travel by train from way down in New Mexico) I unloaded them here. I got them off the train and got them in a pasture from a farmer/rancher where I stayed one night. The next day I drove them across the Florida River going to the top (as if you were going to Durango). At that time it was all sagebrush; there weren't no farmers and ranchers across there. I drove them hungry cows and horses from early in the morning to 4:00 in the afternoon, and I had just one sandwich to eat that morning. I was hungry when I got there, so there were real nice people, who we were going to lease the place from, and I overate ... I got sick. I puked all over the place. I was so embarrassed. They didn't milk the cows the next night, but they were dry ... the cows went dry. I had tried to talk to my dad that they would all go dry, and they were dry. They just couldn't stand that rough abuse. Ranch cows could have, but milk cows can't stand that abuse. So, I had seven milk cows and about 35 or 40 head of horses, and they wouldn't drive together. I didn't have a dog; I had two horses. I left one horse where I could get a hold of him, and I wore two horses riding them, getting them things to not go anywhere else. They would scatter our, and I couldn't keep them together. I was by myself then; my cousin went back with my dad to get stuff and bring it on over here. That was in the fall of 1937: I would have been 22 that fall. I was 22 when I got there, and I felt as though I was 122. We had that place, I think it was, for five years. Then it sold, Land Management sold it and we could not raise the money. We had so much to do on that place. We were intending to buy it, but a rich guy down in Texas wanted to put his money somewhere, so he blew us out. Dad went back to Pagosa, and I went one year above Durango. I went back to Pagosa, but I couldn't find a place to lease, and I had a few stock and I had to find a place. So, I went there and stayed there, then I came down here. It's been 46 years I've been right here this fall. Well, I bought this place in 1960 and that place up there in '66. There's four generations on it [Spanish Forks Ranch] right now and they ought to last a while. Nathan, my oldest grandson is living up there [northern part of ranch], and he has my great-grandson, who's a little over a year old now. He's the cutest little thing I ever saw. He's got grandpa wrapped around his finger. The two grandsons are going to help Wayne, and they're all going to run it together. Interviewed by Michael G.
