Lost Trails of the Cimarron by Harry E Chrisman
Lost Trails of the Cimarron is Harry Chrisman?s folk history of nineteenth-century Cimarron country - southwestern Kansas, southeastern Colorado, and the neutral strip of Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle. Buffalo hunters entered the area in violation of the Medicine Lodge Treaty, followed by cowboys and settlers who formed a vast economy based on grass and beef, the beginnings of prominent cattle ranches such as Westmoreland-Hitch Outfit. Chrisman details the history of the outlaws and ruffians of "No Man?s Land" and trail drives to Dodge City and beyond. Numerous illustrations accompany the anecdotes and stories of various frontier personalities.
Harry Chrisman was a newspaper reporter from Liberal, Kansas, and the author of Fifty Years on the Owl Hoot Trail, Ladder of Rivers, Tales of the Western Heartland, and 1,001 Most Asked Questions about the American West.
