Lee Pierce and wife Jessie leased the Jameson in the early 50 through the 60ies and put the Black Angus cattle on the property. This is an assumption but I believe the land was originally purchased by Mulholland for the building of the Aquaduct that supplied the water to Los Angeles. It was originally the Cuddeback Ranch which encompassed 6000 acres. The town of Monolith began and Monolith Portland Cement Plant was completed around 1912. Some of the ranch managers were Donald Bailey, Mr. Nelson, Kenneth Baker. If anyone has additional information regarding the Jameson Ranch it would be greatly appreciated. The son of Rawley Duntley also lived there as well as the Davis's.
