Chisholm Trail
The Chisholm Trail was a trail used in the post-Civil War era to drive cattle overland, from ranches in Texas to Kansas railheads. The portion of the trail marked by Jesse Chisholm went from his southern trading post near the Red River, to his northern trading post near Kansas City, Kansas.
==Overview==
Texas ranchers using the Chisholm Trail started on the route from either the Rio Grande or San Antonio and went to the railhead of the Kansas Pacific Railway in Abilene, Kansas, where the cattle would be sold and shipped eastward. Newspaper accounts from 1870 supports the Claim that the Chisholm never entered Texas. This has been clouded by a "Revisionist History" movement starting in 1911 and revived again in 1998 and continuing today. In the 1930s, Revisionist Peter Preston Ackley is quoted in a New York Paper as claiming that the Chisholm Trail started in South America and ended in Canada, passing through his hometown of Enid Oklahoma. He threw a party in his hometown proclaiming himself as the "Father of the Chisholm Trail" although there is no evidence that he ever trailed cattle.
The trail is named for Jesse Chisholm although 1871 newspaper says the Trail in Oklahoma was named for Wm. Chislin who had built several trading posts in what was then Indian Territory and is now central Oklahoma, before the American Civil War. Jesse Chisholm was a 3rd generation slave trader who married a slave trader's daughter. Jesse Chisholm's slave dealings drew the attention of two U.S. presidents. Chisholm was Sam Houston's nephew who did not support the Confederacy and vacated his position as the leader of Texas. Chisholm defected from the Confederacy and joined the Union against Texas and the South. This fact would probably have caused him to be hung had he returned to Texas.( See the "Hanging War") Immediately after the war, he and the Lenape Black Beaver collected stray Texas cattle and drove them to railheads over the Chisholm Trail, shipping them to the East to feed citizens, where beef commanded much higher prices than in the West.
