Cattle Drive |
||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
| Beginning in the 1860s cowboys drove cattle from farms in places such as Texas to cities on the Great Plains. From there the cattle were loaded into railroad cars and taken to slaughterhouses in urban centers such as Chicago. By the late 1870s railroads connected more of the country and cattle drives were no longer necessary. | ||||||
