S-Cross Ranch
About
According to oral history interviewee James Brouse, the S-Cross ranch once ran cattle over the entire Pinon Mesa. The ranch was owned and operated by Charles Sieber and possibly Frank Sleeper, who later owned the Sleeper Ranch. Eventually the ranch split up, and former employees of the ranch, such as Joe Pace and Roy Dunham, formed their own ranches. Charles Sieber was killed by cattle rustler Joe Harris in 1902. Parts of the range were ran by the Thatcher Brothers, a pair of influential businessmen from Pueblo, Colorado who at one point employed the well-known black cowboy Charlie Glass at the S-Cross Ranch.Sources: https://mesa.marmot.org/Archive/place:1795/Place
