This crooked relic, one of many cabins that once littered the ranch, holds stories from the rotating characters who lived and worked at Lees Ferry. Farm hands, bee keepers, hay bailers, and educators all toiled together to support and sustain life on a busy ranch. Native Americans and pioneers of differing faiths shared tales of success and hardship around glowing candle light within these outbuildings and homes.The tragic story of Lonely Dell character James Jackson told a tale of a school teacher who set off to bring back a wife only to return heartbroken on frostbitten feet. The cold cabin walls of his home played audience in his final moments. Jackson would be the first person buried at Lonely Dell cemetery under loose dirt and stones, but not the last supporting player to call the ranch community home.
