Title: The Bassett Women
In the late nineteenth century, Elizabeth and Herb Bassett
settled in Brown's Park, a secluded valley straddling the border
of Utah and Colorado. It was a troubled land of deadly conflict
among large cattle barons, outlaws, rustlers, and the small
ranchers who were often called rustlers by men greedy for their
land. Elizabeth Bassett, a gentlewoman homesteader in 1878,
was soon branded a rustler and a cohort of outlaws. Her
daughter Ann became know as "queen of the cattle rustlers."
Another daughter, Josie, before the age of forty had married
and discarded five husbands, soemtimes, it is said, by violent
methods.
One of the few credible accounts of early settlers on Colorado's
western slope, one of the last strongholds of the Old West.
