"And in 1883, the headquarters played a central role in a heated cowboy strike between dissatisfied hands and ranch management. Fearing a takeover by force, ranch manager Jule Gunter filled a keg with horseshoes and dynamite, intending to blow the cabin apart if necessary. Thankfully, the matter was resolved."
I’ve been to the cabin. A wonderful piece of history. The cowboy strike of 1883 is on my list to write about, but I appreciate this bit of history on that time and its connection to the T-Anchor. Thanks Paul.
What sight that must have been.
Fortunately, the cabin survived.
