Feelin’ Fine

By Anne Shannon Monroe

The life and times of Bill Hanley cattle rancher on the Rogue River in Oregon

William Hanley was born in Jacksonville, Oregon, on February 8, 1861. He grew up on a farm and learned the livestock trade at an early age. In a 1914 interview, Hanley remarked that “about as soon as I could stick on a horse I was out with the cattle.” He and his brother John headed east to Harney County in 1879, the advice of their father still ringing in their ears: “get a good valley and water and wait.” Building upon a foundation of Harney County rangeland that he and his brothers purchased, Hanley acquired the established “Double O” Ranch near Harney Lake, begun by Riley and Hardin, and turned it into the county's largest cattle ranch and a showplace of southeastern Oregon.
