This course examines the early cattle drives through Texas Hill Country after the Civil War. With cattle abundant and money scarce, determined men drove wild herds north to buyers in Kansas and beyond. They faced unknown terrain, bandits, hostile encounters, accidents, and illness, making the drives a dangerous and demanding adventure.
