Cowboys, Cattle Drives, and Ranching Markers in Texas
After the Civil War, Texas cattle drives pushed millions of longhorns north up trails like the Chisholm and the Goodnight-Loving, and big ranches spread across the plains. These markers remember the trails, the ranches, and the cowhands, each told out loud by Duane.
768 stories across 193 Texas counties, each with the official marker text alongside Duane's telling.
