Excerpt from Annals of Wyoming, Vol. 21: A Historical Magazine; January 1949 The following account was written by John James Fox, 1866-1944, who came to Wyoming Territory from England in the spring of 1885. He remained in Wyoming until 1887, when he returned to England. In the early '90's he came to the United States a second time, and settled on a citrus ranch in San Diego County, California. Later he spent some time in Guadalajara, Mexico, before returning again to England. For a time he managed a small sheep ranch in Udimore, Sussex, but America called him a third time, and this time (1904) he settled in California for good. John Fox became a prominent farmer and stock raiser. He served on the Horticultural Commission of N apa County for three years, was appraiser for the Federal Land Bank for eleven years, and was horticultural editor for various farm papers. He wrote a Manual of Rural Appraisement which was published by the Pacific Rural Press, San Fran cisco, 1923.
