Description
The original capture of the cattle drive was taken on the street of the Fort Worth Stockyards. These longhorns are driven though the streets twice daily.
Fort Worth was the last major stop for rest and supplies for the drovers heading cattle up the Chisolm Trail. The Chisholm Trail was the major route out of Texas for livestock. Although it was used only from 1867 to 1884, the longhorn cattle driven north along it provided a steady source of income that helped the impoverished state recover from the Civil War. Youthful trail hands gave a Texas flavor to the entire range cattle industry of the Great Plains and made the cowboy an enduring folk hero.
