In all probability, they had heard of the land available from Columbus Thurlo who duing that period of time was "roaming around the Western States." Belle's uncle, David Marion, was also in Quay Co at that time and may have written about it.
James and Belle established a cattle ranch near Tucumcari and raised their family to be cowpunchers. Belle was a great horsewoman and could perform the ranch duties as well as any man. Like other ladies of the times, she rode sidesaddle or astride her horse, depending upon the circumstance."
