Growing Up with the Wild Bunch

As a child, Josie Bassett came west in a wagon train to Brown’s Park in Colorado’s extreme northwest corner. She witnessed first-hand the strong-arm tactics of the cattle barons trying to steal the land from smaller ranch owners, during which a man was hung from the gate post of the Bassett ranch entrance. Following a bitter divorce and a few more marriages, Josie moved to the remote area of Cub Creek in western Utah.
