Cattle Trails 1860-1896

Picture
The Chisholm Trail and the Great Western Cattle Trail were two famous cattle trails which started in Texas, where the cattle were gathered, and ended in Kansas and Nebraska where the railheads were. A railhead is an end point, or final station for a railroad.
  • People in the eastern United States started eating more beef in the late 1800s. This meant that ranchers needed a way to get the cattle from the ranches in Texas, to the east. Texas didn't have any railroads at this time, so cowboys had to take the cattle north to where the cattle could be loaded on the railroad cars.
  • Cattle sold at higher prices in the Northeast, so farmers took their cattle on cattle drives to the railheads and then shipped the cattle to the North and Northeast in order to make more money. There, they could make ten times what they would make in the south. 


  • The Black Cowboy

  • Picture
    • Many slaves brought into the United States came from African countries such as Ghana and Gambia, which were known for herding cattle. Some slave owners in the Southern U.S. were  interested in these skilled herders and used their talents to keep track of the livestock on plantations.
    • After the Civil War, slavery was abolished, or ended. Many former-slaves left the South and became mounted cowboys, moving cattle along trails or cowhands on cattle ranches so they would not have to sharecrop.


    • From 1886 to 1896, millions of cattle were driven down the cattle trails by approximately 35,000 cowboys of which 5,000 to 8,000 were black. Black cowboys brought many skills to the table as herders and contributed much to the cattle industry and the settling of the West.
    • Black cowboys rode out of Texas along the Chisholm, Western, Goodnight-Loving and other trails in cattle drives to Kansas, the Dakotas, Colorado and Wyoming, usually taking approximately three months to reach their destination.
    • Black, white, brown and red cowboys lived, ate and slept together when herding cattle. Due to the dangers and hardships experienced in their lifestyles, they trusted and depended on each other to get the job done. Prejudice was less common on the cattle trails than in the south, where there were Black Codes and other racist laws.
