Rumors about the Old Homestead. It was told to me, that a fiery woman named 2 Gun Beatrice, built the old homestead, with the help of her husband whose nickname was Red (Jim), for his fire red hair. Beatrice got her nick name, since she always had a pair of 6 shooters on her hip. It was said she clearly, "ruled the roost", and she was not a woman to "Rile up". It was told the homestead became a safe haven for "petty trouble makers", who where frowned on through-out the County. It was these "guests" that lived in the little cabins strewn around the valley. This Secluded valley was the perfect place to build a homestead, since it is so protected from the elements. Two Gun Beatrice and Red (Jim), farmed and ranched the land, until they fell on hard times during the Great Depression years, and were forced to sell their homestead to the Swift Packing Company. Where they went after that is anyone's guess !!! Information about the Indian Mountain Community.
