Road Ranch a
Necessity to Emigrant
By James C. Olson
The roaa ranch, that Insti
tution which grew up along
the overland trails in Nebra
ska, might well be described
as the covered wagon tourist
camp. It served the same
pupose for the emigrant mak
ing his weary way westward
as does its modern counterpart
for tourists speeding across
the state In a few hours.
Although they hardly could
have advertised innerspring
mattresses (or any mattresses
at all for that matter) or hot
and cold running water, these
early road ranches did fill a
definite need in the lives of
the early western travelers.
They were spaced 12 to 15
mites apart — a ‘good day’s
journey by ox team — and
provided facilities for taking
care of both the emigrants and
their stock. In addition to
providing accomodations the
road ranches also offered a
cert&in amount of protection
from the Indians,
Wild Bill Launches Career
They usually consisted of a
large log or underground sta
ble, a ranch house where tra
velers might spend the night,
possibly a store or two,
blacksmith shop and several
saloons. The smaller ones
were little more than private
dwellings which occasionally
accomodated travelers and ser
ved them meals. Many of the
larger ranches also served as
stations for the overland stage.
And some of them along the
route of the pony express also
served that institution during
its brief existence.
One of these early establish
ments which later became
most famous of all was the
Rock creek stage station lo
cated in Jefferson county near
the present city of Fairbury.
It was here that Wild Bill Hic
kok started his notorious car
eer by killing David McCanles,
proprietor of the station.
Maintains uwn Brewery
Another station which be
came well known was the
Boyd ranch located on the
Utah- California- Oregon trail
in Buffalo county. James E.
Boyd, the owner and proprie
tor of this ranch, later became
the governor of Nebraska. The
fame of the Boyd ranch was
widespread. It maintained its
own brewery and had an ice
house.
Another well-known estab
lishment was Cheese creek
ranch, located in the western
part of Lancaster county on
the old Nebraska City—Kear
ney trail. It got its name be
cause the people who operated
it specialized in the making of
cheese which they sold to the
freighters and others who
stopped at the ranch.__
