The greatest of these cattle trails was a trail that came out of south Texas toward Dodge City  Kansas  on to Ogallala  Nebraska  and as far north as Canada. In twelve seasons it carried over six million longhorns. It became known  for the most part  as the Western. Now for the first time  based on stories and memories of homesteaders and cowboys and other documentation  the authors tell the history of the Trail and show through detailed maps the exact cattle routes of the Western Trail. The coffee-table size book is heavily footnoted  packed with delightful accounts from people who were there  and has some forty vintage photos. For those who enjoy reading about the true Old West and the industry that introduced an American icon  the cowboy  this is a must book to own.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44986638139445,"sku":"ByrdShop_0975482807","price":115.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780975482803.jpg?v=1770911823","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-western-the-greatest-texas-cattle-trail-1874-1886","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
