The number of settlers in Texas who helped drive cattle to northern stockyards is not explicitly stated in your question. However, during the late 19th century, thousands of cattle drivers participated in the cattle drives, contributing to the booming cattle industry. Promises and bribes were often used in various aspects of this trade, including securing routes and negotiating prices. If you need specific numbers related to a particular event or election, please clarify!

the cattle drive
The organized effort by Texas cattlemen was known as the Long Drive. It involved herding thousands of longhorn cattle from Texas to railheads, which were locations where the cattle could be loaded onto trains for transportation to the eastern markets. The Long Drive played a crucial role in the development of the cattle industry in Texas and helped meet the high demand for beef in the east.
The longhorn cattle drive from Texas to Colorado was famously led by cattleman Charles Goodnight in the late 1800s. He was instrumental in establishing cattle trails and routes that facilitated the movement of cattle to markets in the north. Goodnight's efforts helped shape the cattle industry and contributed to the growth of ranching in the American West.

The herding of cattle from Texas to railroad centers to the north was called a cattle drive. Cattle drives took many months to complete. Some of the cowboys would drive the cattle to Kansas and not want to go back to the ranch after being paid. Then ranchers would have to hire more hands the next cattle drive season.
