Morris, Josie Bassett, Ranch Complex

The Josie Bassett Morris Ranch Complex comprises a small complex of buildings in what is now Dinosaur National Monument where Josie Bassett Morris, a small-time rancher and occasional accused stock thief, lived until 1963. The ranch, located in Brown's Park, Colorado, was established by the Bassett family in the 1870s. Josie grew up there, and through her family came to know a number of outlaws, including Butch Cassidy, who frequented the area. Morris established her own homestead on Cub Creek in Utah in 1914 with help from friends Fred McKnight and the Chew family.
