This time: In 1870, B. A. Borroum embarked on his first cattle drive from Karnes County, Texas, navigating rivers and treacherous terrain to Abilene, Kansas. Facing wild buffalo herds, inclement weather, and the hardships of trail life, Borroum recounts his experiences over multiple drives. Encounters with figures like George W. Saunders and adventures with the Osage Indians on the warpath add to the vivid tapestry of his life on the Chisholm Trail. Despite the perils and the scant rewards, his enduring spirit and love for Texas shine through in these heartfelt memories.
