Bio
Morell Case Keith was one of the first ranchers in Nebraska.
He began ranching operations in North Platte in 1868 with just five cows. Within five years his herd was valued at $93,000. He was also the manager of the Railway Hotel and President of the Lincoln County Ditch Company.
He and a partner developed the Pawnee Springs Ranch, which became one of the largest in Western Nebraska. He owned a large interest in Omaha’s Union Stock Yards Company and was an investor in the Ogallala Land and Cattle Company.
