Gene Garr of Spearfish Dares Hard Work to Riches
A portrait of Gene Garr, a Spearfish man who left a rough start to build a cattle ranch empire on the northwest ranges. He rode with a saddle and two ponies, saved enough to support his wife and children, and after six years owns land, stock, and a thriving home while avoiding worldly temptations. The piece stresses perseverance, thrift, and neighborly goodwill as keys to success.
