Faraway Ranch, right in the middle of Chiricahua National Park in Southern Arizona, was founded by Swedish Homesteaders Emma and Niel Erickson and later managed by their remarkable daughter Lillian, who, despite both hearing loss and blindness, stayed with the ranch for the rest of her life and - together with her husband, Ed Riggs - laid the foundation that is now Chiricahua National Park.
