“For a guy who lived in the middle of nowhere, Cecil Garland had a way of being in the thick of things.
The rancher from outside of the west-desert hamlet of Callao was a leader in the 1979-1981 fight against the U.S. Air Force proposal to build the MX Missile System in the Great Basin valleys of eastern Nevada and western Utah.
