What are some facts about the great cattle trail?
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.

Today, portions of the trail are recognized as historic landmarks and remain an important part of American heritage.
