New Perspectives: The Old Chisholm Trail

Explore how the events of a few short years have come to shape the Texas identity.

The Old Chisholm Trail: From Cow Path to Tourist Stop charts the evolution of the major Texas cattle trails, explores the rise of the Chisholm Trail in legend and lore, and analyzes the role of cattle trail tourism long after the end of the trail driving era itself. Join author Wayne Ludwig for a livestream discussion and Q&A on his groundbreaking study that offers a new and nuanced look at an important but short-lived era in the history of the American West.
