the distinction of being the first woman in Argentina to acquire land under the new act, as land ownership had previously been denied to women. On March 3, 1902, she returned with Longabaugh to New York City on the SS Soldier Prince, probably to visit family and friends in the United States. On April 2, they registered at a Mrs. Thompson's rooming house in New York City. They toured Coney Island and visited his family (originally from Mont Clare, Pennsylvania, but by then living in Atlantic City, New Jersey). They also possibly traveled to a Dr. Pierce's Invalid Hotel in Buffalo, New York, for unspecified medical treatment. They then traveled west, where again they sought medical treatment, this time in Denver, Colorado. They returned to Buenos Aires from New York on July 10, 1902, aboard the steamer Honorius, posing as stewards.

Pursued by armed lawmen, they crossed the Pampas and the Andes and again into Chile. Place had long been tired of life on the run, and deeply lamented the loss of their ranch. At her request, on
