Josie Morris Cabin, Dinosaur National Monument

Josie Morris Cabin, Dinosaur National Monument

50 years and 5 husbands later, Josie Morris is a legend in Dinosaur National Monument. Josie and sister Ann were daughters of Elizabeth Bassett, who was remembered by some as the 'head of the Bassett Gang.' Sister Ann was called 'Queen of the Cattle Rustlers.' Josie gained notoriety in other ways; in a time where divorce was rare she married and discarded five husbands. She was suspected of killing at least one of them. Among her suitors was supposed to be Butch Cassidy. When almost forty, Josie left her childhood home of Brown's Park and moved to this remote, wild homestead. In 1936 at the age of sixty-two, Josie by then a grandmother, was arrested, tried, but not convicted of stealing and butchering a neighbor's cattle. She lived at her cabin on Cub Creek about fifty years until shortly before her death in 1964. Her unique life's story is one of pioneering courage, independence, and perseverance. It touched on the ongoing battle between large ranching operations and small family homesteads. Today, her Cub Creek home is part of the Dinosaur National Monument.
