-Ey Elmo Scokf Watson

: by Elmo Scott Wstson-

IF 1T had not been for Joseph G.
Mccoy, there might never have
occurred that epic migration over
the cattle trails from Texas to the
north during the seventies and
eighties. In that case the history
of the Lone Star state-and the
whole West, for that matter-might
have been very different. Mccoy,
a native of Springfield, ILL.,, was
stockman and cattle buyer who
went to the raw little frontier town
of Abilene, Kan, soon after the
Civil war was over.
That conflict had ruined the cat
tlemen in Texas. Shut off from
the Northern markets by the Union
control of the Mississippi river,
their herds had increased enor-
mously, but without place to sell
the animals, they were compar-
ative1y worthless. Then the Kan
sas Pacific railroad, which was
building west, reached Abilene and
Mccoy had a wonderful idea.
II he could get the Texas drovers
to drive their herds north across
Indian territory to Abilene, grazing
them on the rich prairie grass as
they came, Abilene would be the
market place and shipping center
where Texas sellers and Chicago
and Kansas City buyers could
meet. Despite many obstacles, in
cluding the prevalent belief that
Texas beef was not as good as
that grown in the Middle West, Nc
Coy went about the job of making
his dream come true.
In July, 1867, he began raising
money to build shipping yard"
a barn and office and to begin the
construction of large, three-story
frame hotel for the accommodation
of Texas drovers and eastern buy
ers. His next task was to get
word to the cattlemen more than
400 miles away to the south. AL
though the time was short he man.
aged to persuade enough of them
to make the experiment so that
they marketed 35, 1000 head of cattle
in Abilene that fall and received
approximately SIS head.
The next year more than $4,000
cattle were marketed there. BY
1871 that number had jumped to
10000 and by the next year to
236, 900. From that time on Texas
cattle poured north by the hundreds
of thousands over the original cattle
trau from the Red river to Abb
lene and other trails which were
laid out Other Kansas ''cow towns"
began to boom with activity as the
railroad was pushed farther west
and southwest and there was added
to our history that thrilling chap
ter when the cattleman was king.
And all of this was due to the vision
of one man-Joseph G. Mccoy, the
Father of the Cattle Trails"
