Youthful Cowboy Fireman Fulfills Early Dreams
Ray Harbit, Cedar Rapids firefighter and former ranch hand, recounts a life mixing homesteading in Montana with service in the West. He rode the Flying X, faced crop loss from Canadian cutworms, then moved to Great Falls to drive a fire truck. He hunted as a Game Warden deputy in 1919 and recalls a prairie schooner trip to West Branch at age nine.
