End of the Trail, End of the Line: Kansas Cowtowns

Author

Abstract

Introduction: During the eighteen years that Texas cattle were driven north on the Chisholm Trail, a progression of Kansas towns acted as trail’s end. What bound those cowtowns together was circumstance, geography, ambition, and a place on the rails. For each town, the riches, riders, and rowdy behavior poured in with astonishing speed and, in many cases, dried up just as quickly.
