  • Ghostown Blues Bed & Breakfast, Highway 271, 1 km west of Maple Creek, SK. <br />
<br />
This is one of two sheep wagons. This wagon required little restoration, as it had been well preserved by a covering that was put over it many years ago. Contents are authentic, including the bed (but with modern mattress), stove, benches, pull-out table, track lamp, shelf, and towel racks. End walls originally were canvas, but Greg replaced with wood because he liked the way it looked. <br />
<br />
Greg Hisey: "This wagon came from the Capser ranch, Capser, (near) Harlowton, Montana. (The ranch) went from Harlowton to Rygate. Bill Capser was 82 years old  when I got this wagon."<br />
<br />
The wagon was used until about 1939, when the Second World War cut off the ranch's supply of Basque sheep herders. The Studebaker running gear dates to 1896."<br />
<br />
This is a genuine, original sheep wagon stove. Hisey says it had been kept in a barn and never used, so it's in mint condition.<br />
<br />
"Sheep camp stoves had to be tin. They called this a 'Go-to-Hell Stove'. I don't know, someone could tell you why they call it a 'Go-to-Hell Stove', or why that was the name of it, but that's what they called these tin stoves. I think it's because they got so hot!  They wanted them to heat up, quick hot fire and cool down."<br />
<br />
"It's a workable stove, but I fill them with bricks because I don't want people using them."
