Any story about the Bar U Ranch is less a story about land and cattle than it is a story about people. From riders, chore men and chuckwagon cooks to visionary ranch owners, it was the people who visited, lived and worked here who made the Bar U the stuff of legend.


Among some of the more notable people to pass through the ranch gates were: “Black Jack” John Ware; visionary foreman turned owner George Lane; Edward; Prince of Wales; famous Bar U cowboy Everett Johnson; Bar U horse breaker Harry Longabaugh; and renowned artist Charlie Russell, to name a few.
