"...Leonie Boutall, from Tennessee, decided to build a guest ranch in the early 1930s.... Boutall bought 100 acres of ranch land just west of Oracle Road and south of a narrow dirt track now called Orange Grove Road.... Here she built rancho Nezhone, a luxury guest ranch that drew the rich and famous to the sparsely settled area far north of Tucson. Kate Smith, Liberace, Gen. John Pershing and William 'Hopalong Cassidy' Boyd were guests of this fabulous desert retreat. Boutall sold out in 1948."
