Duke is pictured here with his 26 Bar Ranch partner, Louis Johnson. The ranch was a big part of the Wayne family’s life, and every Thanksgiving they gathered here for the annual cattle auction—a true family tradition. Spanning more than 14,000 acres in Casa Grande, AZ, with summer grazing on leased land near Springerville and Eagar, and 12,000 acres of cotton in nearby Stanfield, the 26 Bar Ranch was a true Western enterprise. #JohnWayne #26BarRanch #WesternHeritage #ThanksgivingWeek #RanchLife
