On the Chisolm Trail

Historical Note: The Chisholm Trail was used from 1867 to 1884 to drive the longhorn cattle from Texas across the Red River to the railhead in Abilene. Those trail drives provided a steady source of income that helped the impoverished state recover from the Civil War. Youthful trail hands on mustangs gave a Texas flavor to the entire range cattle industry of the Great Plains and made the cowboy an enduring folk hero.

Yup, y´all guessed it - I was born and raised in Texas.
