In this book, and “with the aid of archival maps and early cowboys' recollections, the Kraisingers prove that the way to Abilene from 1867 through 1870 went by way of Fort Arbuckle in Indian Territory. The route seen on present-day cattle-trail maps via Red River Station did no materialize until later.” Laid-in to this copy is a large foldout cattle trail map. The bibliography is extensive. As new, unread copy without dust jacket, as issued.
