    OLIVER13,
    THE 26 BAR RANCH WAS NAMED FOR A ROAD IN EASTERN ARIZONA !
    ==================================================
    Highway 260 is located at State Route 89A in Cottonwood and heads north east bound along much of the Mogollon Rim, finally ending at its junction with U.S. Route 180 and U.S. Route 191 in Eagar, Arizona, and Highway 260 is part of the National Highway System between Eagar, Show Low and Payson.
    :wink_smile:
    In the late 1800s, Stretches of this highway were known as
    "General George Crook Trail," during the Apache Indian War and went very near "Fort Apache" and was used for Supplies to the Fort, and to Eagar, Springerville 25 Miles to the Northeast, and Runs Right Through what is now called The 26 Bar Ranch !!
    (bud)


    In the early 1900s. the Trail or Road was called Road 26 and went though the Ranch, so the Ranch became known as "THE 26 RANCH."
    BUT BECAUSE YOU HAD TO HAVE MORE THAN JUST NUMBERS ON YOUR BRANDING IRON FOR THE CATTLE, A BAR WAS ADDED BELOW THE 26 AND IT BECAME KNOWN AS "THE 26 BAR RANCH" !!!
    :biggrin:


    Later the Road was taken over by Arizona Highways Department and was Renamed State Highways 260, and that is what it is called today, AND RUNS RIGHT THOUGH THE 26 BAR RANCH !!!!

    When the stage reaches Lee's Ferry, the passengers find the station and ferry burned, and those who were not killed have fled. They tie large logs to the sides of the stagecoach and float it across the river.
    :fear2:
    Just when they think that danger has passed, they are set-upon by a band of Apaches.
    :tongue1:
    Curly releases Ringo from his handcuffs to help repel the attack !!!

    When the stage reaches Dry Fork, the group is informed that the expected cavalry detachment has gone to Apache Wells. Buck wants to turn back, but Curly demands that the group vote.
    :thumbs_up:
    With only Buck and Peacock objecting, they proceed to Apache Wells. There, Mrs. Mallory faints when she hears that her husband had been wounded in battle and goes into labor. Doc Boone is called upon to assist the delivery and later, Dallas emerges holding a healthy baby.

    "JOHN WAYNE AMERICAN"
    ===================

  • The 26 Bar Ranch


    In 1880, a motley group of strangers boards the east-bound stagecoach from Tonto, Arizona Territory to Lordsburg, New Mexico Territory. Among them are Dallas (Claire Trevor), a prostitute who is being driven out of town by the members of the "Law and Order League"; an alcoholic doctor, Doc Boone (Thomas Mitchell); Lucy Mallory (Louise Platt), who is traveling to see her cavalry officer husband; and whiskey salesman Samuel Peacock (Donald Meek). :biggrin:
    When the stage driver, Buck (Andy Devine), looks for his normal shotgun guard, Marshal Curly Wilcox (George Bancroft) tells him that the guard has gone searching for fugitive the Ringo Kid (John Wayne). Buck tells Marshal Wilcox that Luke Plummer (Tom Tyler) is in Lordsburg. Knowing that Kid has vowed to avenge the deaths of his father and brother at Plummer's hands, the marshal decides to ride along as guard. :wink_smile:
    As they set out, U.S. cavalry Lieutenant Blanchard (Tim Holt) informs the group that Geronimo and his Apaches are on the warpath and his small troop will provide an escort until they reach Dry Fork. Gambler and Southern gentleman Hatfield (John Carradine) joins them and at the edge of town, the stage is flagged down by banker Henry Gatewood, (Berton Churchill), who is absconding with $50,000 embezzled from his bank. :vampire:
    Along the way, they come across the Ringo Kid, whose horse became lame and left him afoot. Even though they are friends, Curly has no choice but to take Ringo into custody. As the trip progresses, Ringo takes a strong liking to Dallas. :wub:

    VIDEO CLIP 2 OF THE GREAT FILM "STAGECOACH" !!!
    "JOHN WAYNE AMERICAN"

  • The 26 Bar Ranch


    Stagecoach is a 1939 American Western film directed by John Ford, starring Claire Trevor and John Wayne in his breakthrough role to becoming a Star, then went on to become the BIGGEST STAR IN FILMS !!
    :jump:
    The screenplay, an adaptation of "The Stage to Lordsburg", a 1937 short story by Ernest Haycox. The film follows a group of strangers riding on a stagecoach through dangerous Apache territory.
    :tongue1:
    Stagecoach was the first of many Westerns that Ford shot using Monument Valley, in the American Southwest in Arizona, as a location, many of which also starred John Wayne. In Stagecoach the director skillfully blended shots of Monument Valley and other film locations in Arizona.!!!
    :wink:
