Miles City, Montana, native Fred Barton (1889-1967) was a cowboy and adventurer who became close friends with famed western artist Charles M. Russell. In 1920, on behalf of Yen Hsi-shan, warlord of Shansi Province, Barton operated a horse ranch in northern China, establishing a model ranch covering 250,000 acres near Taiyuan. Barton stocked the ranch with horses imported from the United States and hired a group of cowboys from Miles City, Montana. Barton also became part of the network of unofficial US intelligence in the Far East during his lifetime. He ventured to Hollywood to assist in the production of Western films, and spent his remaining days in Los Angeles, where he passed in 1967.
