Fred Morris Wanders Back Home
By Evelyn Shawver

Fred Morris, rancher pioneer, is in cody this week to complete the sale of his well-known Northfork ranch situated at the base of the Pinnacle mountain, 17 miles from Cody. For nearly 45 years this ranch has been one of the most popular dude ranches in this part of the country. Its owner was the first man to go East to solicit touist trade. He was also the first to protest (unsuccessfully) to the use of the word "dude."
