Part Two of Two. These are the chronicles of the trail drivers of Texas-those rugged men and, sometimes, women who drove cattle and horses up the trails from Texas to northern markets in the late 1800s. In tales of adventure and misfortune, of drudgery and hardship and danger, the masters of the frontier vividly recall the early days of Texas and the West and the drovers who carved out the trails as their own. Gleaned from members of the Old Time Trail Drivers Association, these hundreds of real-life stories-some humorous, some chilling, some rambling, all interesting form an invaluable cornerstone to the literature, history and folklore of Texas and the West.
