Here is the essential starting point for study of Texas trail driving days told by the many folks who drove cattle and horses up the trails from Texas to northern markets in the late 1800s. Through tales of adventure and misfortune, of drudgery and hardship and danger, these masters of the frontier vividly recall early days of Texas and the West.These are the men who fathered the cattle industry in Texas. Fascinating window into the frontier west.
