Biography[]

Angus Geddes was born in Texas in 1883, the son of David and Jill Geddes and the older brother of Duncan Geddes, and he was raised on his father's ranch - Pronghorn Ranch - in Rio Blanco County, Colorado. Geddes helped around the ranch, and he was thrown over a fence by a raging bull in 1907, with the hired ranch hand John Marston (going by "Jim Milton") calming the bull down and returning it to its enclosure. Months after Marston left Pronghorn Ranch to found his own ranch, Beecher's Hope in Texas, Angus and Duncan delivered a wagon stocked with furniture to Marston's new home in gratitude for his help in saving Pronghorn Ranch from the Laramie Gang.
