Smith Ranch in Argyle Canyon. Photo donated by Patricia Thayer Muno. Note from Patricia: Abraham Owen Smith, "my great grandfather dug wells out there in Nine Mile Canyon and it was the only place for freighters and travelers to water between Price and Fort Duchesne. I have great grandfather, Abraham Owen Smith's ledger where he recorded the names of individuals (some were Indian names!) who had charged 50 cents to water their teams of horses. We have been told that some of the entertainers of the early days coming from Boston to San Francisco also passed through there, stayed at Smith wells in their improvised "Inn" and ate the home cooked meals of my great grandmother, Malona (Draper) Smith." | ||
