The Great Western Cattle Trail and the Chisholm Trail are both historic cattle-driving routes in the United States. The Great Western Cattle Trail runs from Texas through Oklahoma and into Kansas, primarily following a route west of the Chisholm Trail. In contrast, the Chisholm Trail runs from the Texas cattle ranches, through Oklahoma, and to Abilene, Kansas, located further east. On a map, you can find both trails stretching northward from Texas, with the Chisholm Trail being the more eastern route and the Great Western Trail more to the west.
The Great Western Cattle Trail and the Chisholm Trail were crucial routes for driving cattle from ranches in Texas to railheads in Kansas during the late 19th century. Their primary purpose was to facilitate the transportation of cattle to markets, where they could be shipped to the East for consumption. These trails helped to establish the cattle industry, contributing significantly to the economic development of the American West. Additionally, they played a vital role in shaping the culture and lifestyle of cowboys and the ranching community.

The 600-mile Chisholm Trail was used extensively until 1871. Illinois cattle buyer Joseph G. McCoy laid out the trail along an old trade path initially developed by merchant Jesse Chisholm. It ran north from San Antonio to Fort Worth, Texas, through Oklahoma and ended at Abilene, Kansas.
The Chisholm Trail was a trail that was used to drive cattle overland from ranches in Texas to Kansas rail heads during the late 19th century. The trail is named for Jesse Chisholm, who had built several trading posts in what is now western Oklahoma.

They got it wrong , but may refer to the late Shirley Chisholm, a prominent Black Woman politician. the Chisholm (not Chisum- a John Wayne retake) TRAIL was in the Wild West and named after Indian-guide interpreter Jesse Chisholm.
