The Great Cattle Trail, also known as the Chisholm Trail, was a major route used in the late 19th century for driving cattle from Texas to railheads in Kansas, primarily to supply beef to the growing markets in the Eastern United States. Spanning approximately 1,000 miles, it facilitated the movement of millions of cattle during the cattle drives, which peaked from the 1860s to the 1880s. The trail played a significant role in the cattle ranching industry and helped shape the economies of Texas and the Great Plains. Today, portions of the trail are recognized as historic landmarks and remain an important part of American heritage.

The development of the railroad made it profitable to raise cattle on the Great Plains. In 1860, some five-million longhorn cattle grazed in the Lone Star state. Cattle that could be bought for $3 to $5 a head in Texas could be sold for $30 to $50 at railroad shipping points in Abilene or Dodge City in Kansas.
Many of the cattle came from Scotland in the 1600s. Some of the ancient breeds were the hardiest. They were able to make the arduous trip to the New World.

a vast region called the Great European Plain stretches from the coast of France to the Ural Mountains.The Great European Plain is the location of some of the world's richest farmland.
The Chisholm Cattle Trail primarily ran from Texas to Kansas, not Oklahoma. It was a major route used in the late 19th century for driving cattle from ranches in Texas to railheads in Kansas, particularly at Abilene. While some cattle might have crossed into Oklahoma, the main trail itself did not extend there. The trail played a significant role in the cattle industry and the westward expansion of the United States.
some people died on the trail
Yes, definitely. Cows were either being herded to market by cowboys, or being used as oxen for the pioneers taking their covered wagons to their different destinations in hopes and dreams of settling some land.
